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.

What, this isn’t how you stretch your piercings?

Written by

Shannon Larratt

This graphic procedural photo is from a 4ga CBR piercing (placed through the shaft, behind a split glans) being expanded to hold a 3/8″ surgical tube, using a sterilized blade with an anti-bacterial lubricant. The full set will be in this weekend’s update for those who want more views.

    I almost feel as though a break-up note would be swinging from the blade. Great photo.

    Oh, and Saw, but that’s not funny, it’s just the kind of thing I’d expect in Saw. I suppose I could pun about it being saw.

    Even realizing it’s a sterilized blade and everything.. photos like this irk me out, since it’s kind of a table knife rather than a scalpel.

    Sterilized isn’t important, because the bleeding will flash the wound clean!
    That’s my experiences from my own whole splitting with a good sharped citchen knife.
