BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Strawberry

Written by

Shannon Larratt

This great strawberry tattoo is (I think — I’m really sorry if I mixed this up but I doubt it) is on iam:strawberry and was done by Joy Rumore who’s tattooing at Twelve 28 Tattoo in Brooklyn, NY. Incidentally, that reminds me that I know a Smorf that has a sacred strawberry tattoo on their back that I’m quite fond of.
