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 would’ve just done away with the shorts. It looked like they got in the way a bit.

    and man, that probably felt amazing.

    Not to sound like a deviant, but that was hot and makes me want to go raid the vet supply shop for gear again.

    Oh yeah! 😀

    nice! I desperately would like to have a play piercing session, but here (in Southern Italy) seems to be impossible. 🙁
    [anyway, Thermopylae are not in Persia, but in Greece. ]

    Maria > DIY ;). Just ask to your piercer for informations about material and rules, theorically he can explain it to you.
