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.

47-spear Prone Kavadi

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Thank you so much to Helasdottir for sharing this beautiful horizontal kavadi variation. The forty-seven steel spears have autoclavable screw on tips, and you can click here to see the rigging. She described the experience as both serene and intense — which I think is about ideal.

    That’s so hot I think my monitor exploded.

    Yes, I know the main intent was not to arouse other people. Still… wow. 🙂

    And I’m sure it was a wonderful experience, and that’s even better.
