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 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.

  • Suspended, Not Silenced

    There’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

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized.

    First 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.
