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.

“Just call me Frankenstein”

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Midian2000, one of the first people featured on ModBlog for his Lucio Fulci tattoo, has recently had this dermal anchor put in his neck (placed so it can be seen through his stretched lobe) by Didier at Enigma in San Diego, CA.

You may also know Midian2000 from the CD of IAM musicians we released on BME Records a few years back, or from the wildly successful So. Cal BME BBQ which is about to happen again this weekend for the sixth year — click here for more details. I’ve heard some of the stuff they have planned and it sounds like it’s going to be a really nice time.

You should go!

    I think he has a song called “BME Clique” or something too? I don’t know what “BME” stands for in the context that he’s using it.

    *n, i wish i knew why the hell you’re always so confused?!

    … anyways, its a neat anchor… even though its kinda random.. i wonder what he’s going to screw into it once its healed? is there a specific purpose for the placement (apart from being able to see it through his lobe)? ….
