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 the shape of Jesslee‘s eyes, but I also get a kick out of the fact that her septum piercing is slightly crooked in this photo in a way that makes it look like the off-centre labret (done at Mellenium and Soulphire in Vancouver, BC) has an inordinately dense mass causing other objects to gravitate toward it!
