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.

No modblog today, but…

Those of you with experience editing wikis, we’re converting the BME encyclopedia to that interface. It’s not going to be public access for now (the editing), so I really really need editors — click here for more information on how to sign up.

The “I don’t want to grow up” classic Nintendo controller tattoo here is by Pugzley at Black Cat Tattoo in Austin, TX. Sorry I couldn’t post more today, but I need to focus on this other work tonight. I will post tomorrow though!

    What “grateful” said! well not so much because of the women, but definitely my favorite. I’m addicted.

    I would love to help, but unfortunately I’ve no idea what a wiki is or anything. 🙁

    But it’s what he likes so five extra lives to him!
