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.

Circle23 Strikes Again

Before I take off for the day, let me remind people that you should be reading this blog at https://www.bme.com/news/ (it’s fine to read it in your RSS feed, or to quote or use entries on your blog; it’s just not OK for other sites to syndicate the all or the majority of the content here to promote their porn sites and so on). ModBlog is, I suppose, the daily journal of BME, and the photos and stories on this site are contributed by its members and co-creators and should be viewed in that context please.

    Ow. Those forehead hematomas will take a while to clear up, but then, I suppose that’s part of the point of facial play piercings. Without the risk of visible marks it’s just not the same. There’s something really intriguing about the lip stitching with the needles, though.

    Oh, they won’t take any time at all. Foreheads heal VERY fast. I doubt it would be that visible a few days later, and I doubt there’d be a hematoma or bruising at all…

    I think that the left temple is looking pretty swollen suggesting a hematoma but the lighting is bad. Agreed, though that it will heal fairly quickly, just look lumpy for a bit.

    I don’t see a “hematoma” or any ecchymosis… lets just stick to “bruises” instead.

    All you can see is the skin taut over the needles in her forehead, same with the ones on her left temple… its not swelling, its the needle underneath.

    Truthfully, if it was swelling, it would be much larger and not so smooth/round, and would probly not be visible here.
