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.

Arm Nipple Piercing

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Earlier this year I posted a photo of an unusual piercing (a nub on the end of an incomplete arm) that I really liked. I had meant to post an “in context” photo much sooner, but better late than never. I’ll say again that I’m always really happy when people have fun and take control of a part of themselves that others have likely given them a hard time about (that said, I am guessing this piercing is no longer in place)…

    That is me in the picture with my stub piercing…Devin my amazing piercer and friend just let me know this was here!
    Thank you for all of the really sweet comments! This has been one of my favorite piercings and most missed.
    I’m going to clear up some things…I”m not an amputee I was born this way…The sack broke and in that case there are two things that can happen a miscarriage or the sack attaches to the first thing it can, in that case it stops all growth and development…I was lucky it could have been my face or something…
    Now an update…I will be getting it repierced soon. I’m waiting till I have time not to use my arm as much because it needs to heal and yes I use it like a hand…well one without fingers!
