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.

    It must be awkward doing situps, no?

    I would guess that the missionary position might be a problem. Looks good though.

    I take it that is custom jewelry since the stones all match her rings and bracelets?

    i love it, its so hot
    it would be so great if you could heal that (possible but very hard)

    (i also counted 8 bars)

    I would think it would get caught on any clothes besides belly shirts and low ride jeans making it a no for me LOL

    looks great thought.

    i like the tattoos, very neat wish you could see the whole thing though

    Is the tattoo one body suit with sleeve thing? If it was it would be amazing to see.

    Really great piercings though.

    Does this not scream PHOTOSHOP to anybody else?

    While it’s entirely possible to heal these piercings, I don’t see any shadows…..

    Posted on 03-24-2006 22:19:55 by Whispers
    It’s beautiful, but I can’t imagine that being easy to heal, nor would situps be part of her workout regimen anymore 😉

    ^I can see what you mean about the Photoshop thing. It does look a bit weird, but it could just be a matter of weird lighting or whatever.

    Sheesh, it’s not photoshopped. You can go look up the original photo at full resolution without my retouching on the main site if you’d like (it’ll be up there this evening).

    the three balls on the far left REALLY look fake…

    its called bright lighting, not photoshop. and i dont think they look fake at all. why would she put 3 fake balls? that would be rediculous. I think this is unique and i’m glad it was posted here. how about some credit instead of doubting?

    There are no shadows on her bracelets as well. It has nothing to do with the brightness of light, the light is difuse! Try look for shadows outside on an overcast day. Ofcource I’m not saying this couldn’t be made with photoshop (skilled artist can achieve it with ease) but that goes for every picture.

    doesn’t look fake to me, the angles of the balls all match up for each bar, you can see the bar on some, shadow on a couple, etc etc. certainly don’t seem fake to me
