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.

Subdermal Implanted Stars

Written by

Shannon Larratt

These teflon (if I remember correctly) star-shaped 3d-art implants are almost two years old now — put in place September 2004 — and were done by Manny at Lifestyle in Maastricht, Holland.

    Very fond of these implants, considering getting one myself. Were there any problems healing it?
