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.

    I think I’d be more concerned about how low your seemingly low gum line is doing. Crooked teeth are cute, missing teeth are bad.

    for a labret that size, the gumline looks surprisingly good. go look at yr own in a mirror.

    I thought about the low gumline as well when I saw this. Believe me when I say this: having a low gumline is SCARY. (that is if you don’t want to lose teeth, if that is your thing, thats fine & nevermind this post) I got mono and in the process got an infection in my mouth/gums which made my teeth loose and I literally had nightmares about my teeth falling out. *shudders*
