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.

    Well if you go around picking pathetic fights like that in real life i’m suddenly understanding why so many of you don’t seem to have enough braincells to comprehend the word “temporary”.

    O-rings.. you’re still on board.. I agree with you, it’s good to have metal bar-b-que rods coming out of your hands, providing they are only temporary. The thing that is not temporary is his face, he’s stuck with that for life, unless he does some face modding. I understand, the more metal he has sticking out of his body, the less people will be gawking at his punk boy face. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad thing to be ugly, or even unattractive, and I think we should all do what ever we can to improve our looks, or at least divert attention from the ugly parts, which in Freakboy’s case, is from his forehead to his chin. (His nose could use a lot of ‘modding’, or maybe just some more skewers) Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not being critical, like I’ve read in some of the comments. I’m actually praising Freakboy for the creative, wonderful, if temporary, piercing he’s done, and as I’ve said before, he should get another one call a ‘frontal lobotomy’, available in South America. It could help him cope with the pain too.

    I totally agree with you, Freakboy is awesome, brilliant and fierce with his hot look. However, I think that FB’s piercing should have included some rhinoplasty. Have another look at him, he does have a very big schnozz. He needs something a little less Shrek, a little more Brad Pitt.
    Unless he’s saving the nose tissue for some unfortunate, unforseen accident where he loses his penis and needs a transplant, I see no reason to keep that big honker. He could also use some eyebrow waxing, and get rid of the peach fuzz.

    The comments that I have read seem to fall into two distinct categories, those who have taken the time to locate, deconstruct and express their opinions and then those who have chosen to bounce back with retaliatory comments. The whole idea of having a comments section, as far as I am concerned, is to allow an open forum for people from all different walks of life (if they so wish) to post CONSTRUCTIVELY so that a discussion can follow. However, this works on the assumption that when people enter this online ‘community’ they are agreeing to act with a certain amount of decorum. The same amount of which would be expected of them within their own ‘real’ communities at home, sadly this doesn’t seem to be happening.

    Aside from ‘online etiquette’, my personal take on body modification is that it is a form of expression. If posters here haven’t come into close contact with people with less common piercing, tattoos or dare I mention..scarification pieces, then the easiest parallels that I can draw are how a person can express themselves through choice of clothing/political views/the books they read etc etc. In other words any other lifestyle choice.
    Surely a person has the right to do as they wish to themselves as long as it doesn’t infringe upon others and their rights?

    Regarding the safety and hygiene of the person in the picture, for those who are claiming that they are sick/unhealthy; I’m not sure what you are trying to achieve through these insulting comments.
    If you are trying to outreach to everyday readers of BME/ ModBlog/ IAM warning of the health risks posed in acquiring this modification then I would imagine that the comments aren’t required as there is a whole wealth of information available on practical issues/ implications in the BME QOD and BME Risks sections. This isn’t to say that the information provided there should be taken as gospel. Piercing practices may change, as with anything, according to innovation and experience.

    Essentially, research and consider before you disregard and rubbish a large community of people.

    Dear Ms. Lipa
    Thank you for your thoughtful essay on decourm of individuals contributing to discussions concerning the community of people who choose to puncture themselves and place foreign objects in their bodies. I agree, anyone who calls these ‘bod mod’ folks ‘faggots’, ‘idiots’, ‘losers’, ‘dumb ass holes’, are not being constructive, and shouldn’t be looking at the site if they find it objectional. I agree, hanging by your skin from a cieling fan is just another way to express your self, like for instance writing a book or painting a picture. Perhaps people who have trouble expressing themselves with conventional means, like writing and talking coherently need to put spikes and ink and skewers through themselves just to get their point across.

    Dear Mr. Leavethepoliticstomadmen,
    OK, you’ve got me interested now. Tell me what to read that will enlighten me and help me understand the deeper meaning to self-mutilation. Can people who stick schrapnel into themselves actually write? Communicate ideas? Are they interested in anything except themselves? Do they read books, go to art museums, ???
    I’m just guessing, but I imagine the typical ‘modder’ has very little independence, and screwing with thier bodies is the only way to assert who they are.
