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.

    so, the question now is, “is that an allergic reaction to the pigment, or just some nasty scar tissue developing under the scab because the artist was inexperienced and ground his flesh into hamburger meat?” looks like the second option to me. i guess it could also be flesh removal….

    I don’t belive it got infected, I just think it is a reaction to that we keept on peeling it for so long. He so badly wanted it finished. Never again will I listen to someone and keep on for so long. We were up all night. I can’t remember which time this photo was taken, but it could have been the first cover or the second cause I remember he had a newly fresh one, it should also be online on my page if you look at IAM:RENEGADEDRUMASHEEN
