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.

    I’m sure it’s either an illusion or planned; Brenno does great work.

    awesome work… but wouldn’t the healing process hurt a lil more than other scars because of the placement under the arm?

    “Skull and cock-bones”

    That placement had to hurt. Very cute though…

    The little hearts look like they’re in a bar of soap.

    I would have to also confirm the visual look that it looks more like a “Skull & Cock’n’Balls”

    As the top two bits of the bones do not match the bottom two…As the top ones are more rounded and not the identical shape of the bottom two.

    Very cute. And they definately do look like cock bones. Someone should get her in here to confirm or deny. 🙂

    I think the top two are intentionally reversed? They looked (at first) like upside down hearts to me…of course, now I see what everyone else sees since the suggestion has been planted.
