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 am so predictable.

I am pretty much 100% sure that both AngelinPayn (the photographer) and Tina (the model) and Swirly (the piercer, at Dragon’s Lair Tattoos in Brisbane, Australia) knew this corset play piercing would end up on ModBlog!

    tinaxo- first off, i used the word incongruous. That’s not the same as inappropriate at all. I like the photo over all and ultimately like the pouty look, but was trying to pin down what others were finding not quite right about the pic. It’s an unusual aesthetic to have so young a face and yet carry such outward signs of bodily maturity at least in this day and age. Keep in mind that doing cosmetic medical work, it’s often my job to create exactly this look. Well, not so much the corset, but the facial youth…you get the idea…

    All I can say is;

    Fuck you all!!!

    Tina Rocks! And anyone hiding behind the anonymoty of the internet, are just pussy fucktards.
    I dare you to say this kind of stuff to her face; you couldn’t.
    You would all be a blubering mass of impotence.

    I guess its true about jealousy. Don’t deny it.
    The only people with objections to beauty are people with thier own agenda.

    She owns you all.
    Don’t think I worship dear Chrissy – I’d just like to see you try beter than being whiny little emo cunts.

    I feel a little like i’m getting flamed for what was a carefully worded observation, not a criticism. We talk about all kinds of stuff in the comment threads here and to point out what I thought was an interesting dichotomy gets the blood boiling apparently. Read the comment people don’t presume that it tears down or read in an intonation that clearly isn’t there. Seriously. Shutting up now.

    I feel a little like I’m getting flamed for disagreeing. Which is why one gets flamed, oh yeah. Emo, hah. I actually think that Tina is thoroughly gorgeous, and I would just break down in tears in she was smiling (i)as well(/i). So there.

    Imagining her pregnant is also sexy.

    And Neon Charge, you’re just as anonymous as us. I would be less anonymous, but the IAM accounts don’t take Switch, so I lost the privilege.

    k, this is a little late but, Tina I’m sorry for offending you with previous comments I made. That really wasn’t my intention. I’ve got no beef with you or any other girl on modblog for that matter.

    I tried to keep my mouth shut because I don’t know how to say anything without making things worse. Unfortunately I won’t apologize for absolutely all the things I said, just the way I said them. I’m sorry. But some of the above comments reaffirm my opinion that modblog can sometimes be a hostile place and that all women are held to an unrealistic standard.

    I guess I misunderstood. Maybe all these people are her friends and they are just teasing. To the people who don’t know her, the negative comments about stretch marks (which frankly I don’t really see), make-up, and the pout, all come across as insults. I feel that maybe that alienates some women because why would they want to post their pictures if they know that some people are all too eager to point out their flaws. That was my only point. I’m not attacking girls who pose, girls who are thin, or pretty, or girls who feel they don’t fit the ideal.

    Sorry Shannon, I know it’s your site and you are more than welcome to delete all my comments.

    i don’t see the stretchmarks…
    and that annoys me.
    because just about every girl you ever post is tiny and cute, and it’s like a cosmo for the modified.

    the more i see your posts (like the one of the girl’s ear…that happened also to include her breast? ) yes, they are beautiful pictures, but i think there are probably equally beautiful images of girls with curves or visible stretchmarks…

    it’s your blog, so you’re certainly free to post all the petite pouty girls you want, but every time i see posts like this, i just feel more sad for the modded society, and how it is mirroring everything you all claim to hate.

    oh deary fuck!

    this never ever stops amusing the ass off me.

    fist off…i was there,there most definately ARE stretchmarks.
    second off tinas mouth always looks like its upside down.
    third off…noone seems to give a shit about the fact she didnt wince/flinch/jingle/etc getting some tender spots peirced…OR infact that theres even piercings in the shot anymore.

    seems like its just become and excuse to winge whenever an attractive chick is stuck up here!

    I don’t think Tina wants to be the poster girl for this issue. And she shouldn’t be. Some day I’ll learn to keep my mouth shut.

    For the record, it’s a neat variation on corset piercing

    First up.. Thank you for everyone who has said such positive comments and sent me supporting IM’s…

    It saddens me that in a community that supposedly prides itself in acceptance and supporting those around them, that I’m picked apart like it was my intention to submit a photo to BME and have it selected for Modblog for everyone to tell me my faults..
    I know I have stretchmarks.. I’m damn proud of them.. I couldn’t help getting a pregancy condition called ‘Odema’ which caused me to gain half my body weight in fluid in 9 months..
    I have the most amazing daughter from it…
    And my ‘cod mouth’ is mostly caused from when I was 10 years old, being tripped at school and landing face first into concret steps and splitting my lip open.. causeing my lip to have scar tissue…

    But these scar’s (or deformity’s) are apart of me forever!
    I don’t choose the road of hateing them because they are imperfect and don’t match a certain critiera of ‘beautiful’ ..
    I embrace them, I only have this life to live.. I’m not going to waste it on silly hang ups of body insecurities.

    Why I am explaining myself, fucks me..

    But seriously, while your negetive comments only push me to stand up for myself even more… The Positive one’s are just cementing why I love BME/IAM so much!

    The End.

    i’ve enjoyed all the pictures of tina! this set, and the previous with the askewed back corset, are intriguing.
    as for the stretchmarks…i don’t see any. but even so, in a community that applauds scarification, modification, and sometimes even mutilation, how can anyone find fault in this? carrying a child and giving birth is a HUGE body modification, stretch marks or not. tina should wear them like a badge of honor. 🙂

    on a sidenote, it would be a neat idea (i think) if the ribbon were longer, maybe even wider…to do a set resembling angel wings. i don’t know, i imagine it would be very pretty.

    That’s really pretty… Actually I first noticed the pants… they’re pretty too.
    The ironic thing is, many “normal” women would pay large amounts of money to gain a mouth like that, whereas you gained it from an actual life experience. It’s not far-fetched to say that stretch marks might become fashionable – I mean, it is fashionable now for celebrities to be badly emaciated! – and women will be paying through the nose for fake stretch marks.
    The conflict seems to lie between wearing your life on your face and body – stretch marks, scars, wrinkles etc. – which the mainstream media certainly does not encourage, but modified people certainly do – for example, tattoos and scars commemorating important experiences, and look how many people were commenting positively about someone’s laughter lines a few posts back.
