It’s just temporary. Piercing on Freakboy by Jimi at Diabos Mutantes in Sao Paulo, Brasil.
Latest Tattoo, Piercing, and Body Modification News
- Suspended, Not Silencedby JonathonThere’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
- A Nightbird’s Passageby JonathonSome stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
- Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetryby JonathonOne of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place. When you’re surrounded by people who not only understand the technical complexities of suspension but are excited by the challenge… Read more: Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetry
- Twelve Points to the Skyby JonathonThere’s a particular kind of magic that happens at your first big suspension gathering when you arrive with nerves, an open heart, and the quiet hope of flight. Guided by the encouragement of mentor Lynn Loheide and driven by the quiet confidence of belonging, Alex… Read more: Twelve Points to the Sky
- Ontario SusCon 2025by JonathonIn March 2025, BME attended the Ontario Suspension Convention in Hamilton, hosted by the Kevin Donaghy and the Ontario Suspension Collective.

“where in the world does it say that if you post things on the internet it gives people the right to call you names and tell you you are insane”
Where does it say you cant?
I think the strangest part of the picture isn’t the prongs stickin’ outta his hands, it’s the goofy “I’m a badass” look on his face.
What a bonehead.

I didn’t intend to comment again, but the mindless malice directed at Freakboy and his TEMPORARY piercings compelled me to add another three cents to my original two. Not everyone who came here from offsite left nasty comments – I read BoingBoing daily. On behalf of those of us who are not narrowminded or negatively judgemental about things we ourselves might not do, I offer the following, courtesy of Captain Obvious and the No Duhs: Intertards are a dime per thousand. How ironic that when we’re children, we pretend to be superheros and “Good Guys” when playing. As adults, the vast majority seem to instead revel in being complete assclowns. Pitiful, yet typical. Perceived anonymity has a way of turning over rocks that would have been best left in place.
Ah, well. Sorry you (and the site) got invaded by Trolls. Poorly educated Trolls, by the looks of it – quite the sorry example of “badder grammar and speeling.”
(For the record, though I have no creative piercings, I do have a Hell of a lot of tattoos, and very much enjoyed cruising around this site checking out the individual areas)

Y’know what… I’m more disturbed by the judgmental namecalling by you posters than by Wolverine wannabe here. Why’s he an “idiot”? It’s his life, his body, his knuckles. Maybe he’s smart enough to avoid puncturing his asshole when wiping it…
I’m with Pauly Unstoppable…
“if you dont have anything good to say SHUT THE FUCK UP”

Amen!
Seriously, people, why the fucking hate?
Live and let live, this guy isn’t hurting anybody, whether you like his TEMPORARY piercings or not. Additionally, anybody that frequents this site knows that BME is about acceptance and respect, so even if you see something that isn’t for YOU, there is NO need to slander it. Self expression is subjective, and if everyone liked everything the world would be a terribly boring place, but calling someone a “stupid fag” for the way they choose to decorate their body, whether permanent or temporary, is just plain ignorant.
Ok, I’m done. I read ALL the comments on this entry, though, and I’m pretty upset. Why can’t we all just get along?
Amen!

I’m curious as to why the people leaving the nasty comments are even on a site like this, if body modification turns their stomach so much that they have to rag on someone who actually has a creative idea.
Lighten up, people. If you’re on this website you obviously have some sort of curiosity about body modification, so for God’s sake, try to be open about it, or don’t waste your time. GO outside, play a game, go fishing, watch tv. Just know that your rude comments aren’t changing the world or providing any sort of provoking thought. You just sound uneducated about body modification.
So by all means, educate yourselves! But please, don’t let your friends tell you how to feel about anything, make your own descisions. And remember, that nostril piercing you begged your mother you could have, doesn’t make you any less a “Freak” than the rest of us. 😉

If I had a job, I wouldn’t even bother posting. But the company I used to work for went out of business a few months ago, and I’m bored. So I’ll just try to make everyone mad.
For the people who are criticizing this guy – you go to a body modification site and criticize someone for getting body mods? What kind of loser does that? Look at yourself, decide what the hell is wrong with you, and fix it. Don’t take it out on people on the internet.
For the record – no piercings or tattoos on me, and I never will have any. My actions are what define me as weird and interesting, and most people I know dig it. I try not to notice the ones that don’t dig it, and I guess I’m pretty good at it. Almost everyone I’ve known with body mods are so incredibly boring that they’ll disfigure themselves in order to show how “different” they are.

Welcome to ANGRY, population YOU GUYS. 🙁 I’ll never figure out how people can be continue to use the internet if they get personally offended by everything they don’t understand. Better not leave the house, you might see something scary.

the angry comments come from this page being linked in various news blogs. regular, standard people take a look at something different and find it repulsive. just regular reactions to something uncommon and scary to them.
by the way, freakboy, how far would you to just to stand out in the crowd and be noticed?

I’m reminded again of why I choose to have an IAM page and not a MySpace/Livejournal/whatever location. At leat on IAM I can mostly say what I want, look the way I want, be the way I want, and not have to worry about everyone else in the world.
For myself, it’s not about wanting to stand out, it’s about wanting to be me. I don’t like people, I don’t like dealing with the public in general, and so I certainly don’t have tattoos/piercings/brands and implants so I can be singled out for unwanted attention. I do have them so I can be happy with the person I see in the mirror every day. I would wager that most of the people featured on BME feel the same way.
Another point: yes, I have a real job. I work for Pitney Bowes in a legal support position, and have worked there for four years. I’ve had most of my piercings and tattoos for the entire time that I’ve worked there.
First note: didn’t any one of the people posting negative comments graduate from high school (or the local equivalent for those outside of the United States)? Your syntax, grammar and spelling are atrocious. If you should choose to post comments in the future, please check your spelling and sentence structure; it would make your comments easier to read and make sense of.
Final note: if you wish to argue against something, please check here.

It’s unfortunate that not everyone appreciates the wolverine piercings, because I think they kick ass.
Seriously; who didn’t read those comics and want to do the exact same thing?

If anyone actually looked at his page, they were just regular knuckle piercings with long screw-on ends. And to Fritz, he has tattoos. Now everyone (moreso, the itards who aren’t from IAM and have no links to their name), just take your panties out of a bunch and step away from the computer.

I personally don’t find the modification appealing.
That said, it’s not my body, not my life.
To those who are interested in this, don’t let people shame you! Your life is your own and you’ve only got one life to live. DO WHAT YOU WANT AND BE YOUR OWN MASTER!

I can’t wait for the nuclear apocalypse, after which we will roam the earth, raping and eating those fucking plain-skin idiots!
Go Wolverine!

Wow, I couldn’t even read all the comments. Besides the nice ones, they were really upsetting. I can’t believe how ignorant and rude some of you are. Sure, you are allowed your opinion, but I would say accusing someone of supporting NAMBLA for NO REASON is crossing the line.
How can you take things so seriously? So what if he stuck some metal shit in his hand. He’s not hurting anyone.
Really, truly, sad.

Oh look, I have something negative and mean to say too!
People who flame other people’s blogs, CAN GO FUCKING DIE!. I’m 120% with Ray, and even though I’ve been told that tattoos taste better, I can’t wait till the people scared of body-mods go from running the world, to cooked well-done on my dinner plate, with a side of god damned french fries.
THAT’S RIGHT NUMBSKULLS! I WANT TO EAT YOU! FLAME THAT! HAHAHAHAHAH and other laughing onomatopoeia!

Interesting – not for me, but interesting none the less.
Of course, I like how so many people are flaming the hell out of him “How will he do day to day stuff” or “How will he get a job” and other negative stuff.
If this guy is such a retard, how come all the flamers have missed the fact it’s a *temporary* piercing… Yeah, and they flame him… Smart one guys..

Sarcastically speaking… “oooohhhhh that looks so cooool. Now it makes me feel like shoving a spike in my ass and out my DICK hole”!!!

I’m not against body modification, but these photos make me cringe (and clench my teeth) with the idea that you could make one bad move, hit your hand on something (not uncommon), and have the skin of your whole hand be riped off. Yikes!
But, if you want to do it… Best wishes and be very very careful!

I read modblog when I can remember to do so, but a little bit ago a friend linked me to this absolute fiasco, and I still cannot believe people. Every day I am more disappointed and disgusted with humanity in general. *sigh* Well, here’s my two cents.
My first reaction to this guy’s TEMPORARY piercings was “hey cool!” then I kinda got grossed out by the going through the septum thing. I shrugged that off and went back to the piercings themselves, and thought it would’ve looked better with four ‘claws’. I also thought that I would never do it myself, but it was cool and at least something I hadn’t seen before, even though it may be a more common piercing than I am aware of.
Then, I read the comments. I swear…….who the hell keeps letting the stupid people breed? Can we PLEASE make the stupid ignorant people unfertile? *sigh*
First off, it irritates me when people don’t read what goes with the picture or whatever it is being posted, or they don’t read the whole thing, and no matter where it is this happens. People instantly start posting stupid questions that would’ve been answered if they’d just read it, or ignorant as hell people start rampaging like this. I want to stab these people with a rusty bent screw in the genitals for their ignorance and stupidity.
Where bodmods are concerned, I don’t have many. Just double pierced ear lobes. I have a long wishlist of tattoos and piercings that I want and intend to get when I am older (read as: out of the house away from my suffocating, narrow-minded mother), and have more money to do so. For me, I would feel better and more like my true self, and feel more complete. I would like what I see in the mirror a lot more, and I wouldn’t be getting anything radical or shocking, probably what most bod modders would call common. But I imagine this is how a lot of true bod mod people feel, more like themselves and complete. Its not about the mutilating, or doing something that would inconvenience one’s self (such as wolverine boy up here, IF those things weren’t TEMPORARY)….its not about rebelling (maybe in some cases with some people, but not the majority I’m sure), its not just about being different or standing out….its about being ourselves.
You fags are allowed to cook yourselves in tanning booths, bleach your hair, starve yourselves to be super skinny, destroy your eyebrows through overplucking….okay so this is a dumb blonde stereotype, but that and other things women and men do that’s considered “normal” are really freakish to me, and unnatural. Plastic surgery is very unnatural to me, and makes some people look like utter freaks, but if they want to look like that, I don’t make a fuss over it. And no one else does either. Bod modding, to some degree though it isn’t my place to judge, seems more natural to me.
But I also don’t see how plastic surgery is any different than bod modding? And plastic surgery is accepted, even for younger and younger people in their mid teens. This is accepted, but any form of bod modding that would appear on BME labels people as stupid, or as freaks.
Good job being hypocrites -_-;
And I’m straying a bit, so before I go on too long, I’ll say goodbye.
Cool claws freakboy, don’t let these mindless idiots who don’t understand get in the way of being who you are. Rock on.
