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.

    wow

    No worries.. a single quality one like that is more than enough!

    I seriously think you should put one of those PayPal Donate buttons for people to help out with the Server. I will happily donate some cash. I signed up for that ALT site… and….. I don’t wanna send them any money just so part of it reaches you.

    Put a donate button somewhere!!

    Beautiful and amazing! This man truly is a canvas — I really hardly saw the flesh, just the form of the art upon it.

    But upon second inspection, the flesh ain’t bad either! 😉
