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.

To The Left

I have to say, I like the asymmetrical approach this young lady’s taken with her facial piercings (done by Efix at D-Markation in Quebec City, Quebec). The standalone lip ring is common enough, but because of her cheek piercings, this is a little more unexpected somehow. (Pleasantly, though.) Plus, the jewelry is subtle enough that the asymmetry doesn’t seem quite so jarring. Another shot, after the jump.

    it looks more like they were randomly chosen without thinking beforehand,
    but that’s just me, and i’m a stickler for balance.

    @ Lares:
    they look the same as my scars from my eyebrow piercings, that’d be my guess.

    She’s so pretty, I actually like the asymmetry for some reason.
