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.

Another Mega-Keloid Removal

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I posted a pictures of the pierced keloid recently, and I’ve posted about keloid removal in the past as well… Here’s another example, this time done by Efix in Quebec — very cleanly executed! They’ll be back stretching their ears in no time if they want.

This entry was edited to fix the artist credit. Sorry!

    Is this really a keloid though? Or would you more consider it to be a blowout? I was a beer the impression that blowouts are more likely, and can be dealt with with generally permanence, while keloids are less common and will continuously return.

    I ask for clarification as I have a blowout scar (completely healed) that’s more of a skin flap than a keloid (compared to friends and acquaintances keloids) which seem to be harder and “lumpy” more like a stone of cartilage is left behind.

    Cheers to any response.
