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.

Resurrection at dusk

Written by

Rob

JakeMindsnared is a lucky guy.  Not only does have have some fantastic scars by Anders and Efix, he also gets to suspend at sunset overlooking Australia’s Gold Coast.

Jake pierced himself for this suspension, and set up the rigging with the help of his buddy, IAM:LostCause.
