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.

A Holiday Poem From BME

Written by

Coyote Black

Happy Holidays to all of our readers!
Here is a nice photo to set the mood. Artist credit goes to Michael Kozlenko in Tel Aviv.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the land
Not a scalpel was carving, not even some glans.
The rigging was hung from the ceiling with care,
In hopes that Falkner soon would be there.

The clients were happy with new snugs in their ears,
While they sat at the bar, satisfied with their beers.
“A few days off are nice” Said Coyote with a smile.
Unfortunately he hadn’t updated ModBlog in a while.

When out of the blue, after holidays came
He had some free time to showcase some pain
Back to the galleries! He said with excitement.
Finding new photos gave him tons of enjoyment

More implants! More piercings! More cutting and branding!
New updates! New interviews! New pictures soon landing!
You could tell Coyote’s promise was sincere
and ModBlog should be in for a hell of a New Year!
