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.

Italian Skin Removal

Haha, thanks to “sex sells more records than rock so let’s fuck” Meltbanana from Milano for this fun picture of her pubic skin removal scarification. Outside of the fact that I always like pictures of pretty naked girls, I like seeing pictures of happy people even more.

    Every time I look at that pic, I grin – the pose, meltbanana, the eyes, the paper, the thought-bubble, the integration of the watermark. It’s all fantastic!
