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.

Single Point Pockets (I think)

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I think these are single-point pocketings (I’m assuming they’re a variant on dermal anchoring of some type), done by Dirty Nick at Nomad in San Francisco, with custom jewelry of course, really look great! The jewelry puts it over the top.

    the look is def. very nice.
    but i would be a bit nervous,
    having such “sharp” little edgy things near my eyes.

    They’re not so close to the eyes, and they’re pointing in the opposite direction. Looks pretty cool, very interesting.

    All I can think of is how often they must catch on his pillowcase at night, and other such things; that would get annoying. They look really great though.

    This is great, subtle and effective work. Very much what I love about bodmodding. Am also intrigued as to how this was done so perfectly.

    These are awesome. Every time I see something like this I am so amazed at the creativity. Before I first saaw ModBlog I thought I had seen every possible piercing, but every day I see things like this and realise that I’m only seeing the tip of the iceberg, if that makes any sense at all.

    Nomad’s?? eek. i hate that place. the guys there were elitist and one was piercing my underage friend because she was giving him ass.
    they were all about creative surface piercings and stuff, but they clearly didn’t have a clue about technique.
    i don’t quite understand these single point pockets. if you squish the skin together, the open end will stab into the skin…
    doesn’t seem too smart to me.
