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.

This one gets tricky

Written by

I really like this branding. I’m not sure why it’s so appealing to me but it’s incredibly striking. grundstuck‘s seemingly perfect circles were carefully electrocauterized by Quentin at Kalima in Worthing, UK.

Or maybe I just like boys in cute glasses.

    @mechanic-organic: basically i always loved circles, their shape and the fact that they never end. As for the number i have a motivation but it’s merely personal and i prefer to keep it to myself 😉

    @forevergold: the lobes are new that’s why they’re small they’ll be big in some years 😛
    but yeah i went before into other mods rather than lobe stretching.
