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’ve always wondered if shitty surface piercings could be an option for scarification like intentionally having very shitty surface piercings done and then just knocking the shit out of them so they have no chance of healing…hopefully this guy posts some nice pics of his very nice rejection scars

    the dimpled look makes me wanna touch it..
    i am sure he knows what he’s doing hence letting the piercer do quite a number.

    if it was meant to be a play, a more symmetrical look will do justice.
