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 would be so cool if the webs were scars 🙂

    Is it just me, her body position, or is the lower half pretty crooked? At first I thought it was just the position was it, but the sternum dosn’t really shift that much does it? Is she lifting her left boob a little bit?

    the bottom part does look crooked, though nothing that couldn’t be fixed if it bothers her. i don’t think the spider webs look anything like chest fur though, not even at a quick glance.
