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.

DIY Skin Peel

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I like this DIY skin removal gallery, done by David Hoffman at Ink Gallery in Tennesee. The thing that struck me, outside of it being a nice photo, was that I can’t wait until I have noticeable wrinkles and lines in my face. It can add so much more character to a person’s face.

    i agree. something freaks me out a lot about people with botox in their faces. why not have history in your skin?

    I always feel like I’m alone in the desire to grow older, find new wrinkles, start turning gray (I’ll probably *still* dye it, but it won’t be to cover the gray!). I don’t know a single woman that’s ever understood me when I say that. 😡

    You found her peejay 🙂 I really also can’t wait, probably because I know and have seen some beautiful aged people.

    My favourite feature on my husband (iam.bmezine.com/?thesatisfiedmind) is his eye wrinkles. They aren’t very prominent unless he smiles, so I look forward to seeing more of them as he ages.
