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.

    I like it, but honestly Shannon you’ve posted at least 3 other girls with the same hip tattoo design. I’m not saying it isn’t pretty, but I like it more when you post more original pieces.

    And what’s funny is that there’s actually a double filter (because first it goes through Phil as well)… So at least I know there are people who don’t mind a little repitition…

    I don’t particularly think that was necessary at all. I think she’s cute! If you don’t think she’s attractive, who cares?! Since when is that the entire point of Modblog?

    I see a lot of girls in porn with this tattoo. Not that that is a bad thing……….I fear it may become the new “tramp stamp”

    I think “tramp stamp” is needlessly negative, but I agree that it’s a common motif. But it’s common because it looks good and many people like it I think.

    Alanis Morisette…? :/

    Although I agree that it’s becoming the new generic-tribal-on-the-lower-back for girls (I typo’d tribble there. The shame.), It’s not yet reached the point where it becomes ubiquitous for the young-slapper-around-town.

    Time will tell though.

    Hmmm, a constellation of Stars …….. I wonder if they lead to a ‘black hole’ somewhere ?? If they did I suppose it would bring new meaning to the phrase ‘big bang’ . . . . (move along folks, nothing to see here, just more lame Rodney Dangerfield quality lines).

    I know that this is now a “generic” tattoo, but I like it. It’s complimentary to some girl’s (or guys, for that matter) anatomy.

  • Held by Hooks, and Each Other

    Facilitators and practitioners — the very people who bring so many suspensions to life — often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities.

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    by Jonathon
    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

    by Jonathon
    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage

    by Jonathon
    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. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
