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.

There’s something in your eye

Written by

It’s hard to believe that it’s going on 11 years since Rachel and I took a trip to The Netherlands so she could have her jewel eye implant.  11 years!   Not too long ago I was actually thinking that it’s still not something I ever really hear about.  Well, yesterday bodmodpunky sent in the photo below:

Artist: Danny
Studio: Rock the Body Studio
Location: Baden CH

This looks really nice and I’d love to hear the reactions when people realize, hey, you’ve got a skull in your eye!  I’ll be honest, I tend to forget Rachel even has it, it’s such an unobtrusive thing and so far as I know she hasn’t had any issues with it.  I’m not suggesting everyone should run out and get this done, if you do decide to get it done, make sure you do your research and find someone who knows what they’re doing!

    The information they provided was that it was done at the Rock the Body Studio in Baden.
