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.

Through the Foot

Written by

Sorry I made the picture a little dark. I think I stepped on a few too many nails as a farmkid to enjoy this fetish personally, ha… Pretty intense. That said, if you think this is intense, check out the foot crucifixion in the “other” suspensions gallery on BME (sorry, it’s one of the last pages of the gallery so you have to be a member but if someone wants to link some of the pictures from it here that’s fine by me).

    Noooo thank you. That’s super intense. It’s one of my greatest fears to have either, A, my achilles tendon cut or B, a nail or similarly sharp object going through my feet. Everytime I walk barefoot on my grandma’s farm I get worried about that.

    I hope had no worries with the healing of that wound. The picture would have been funny had the needle had been threaded! 🙂

    I’d be fine with it, except that it’s a sewing needle. Just *shudder*

  • Held by Hooks, and Each Other
    by Jonathon
    Facilitators and practitioners — the very people who bring so many suspensions to life — often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities.

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    by Jonathon
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
  • What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
    by Jonathon
    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
