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.

“VIDA”

Written by

Shannon Larratt

How appropriate! (“Vida” means “life”). Joao sends in this picture of his tattooed hand (by Anderson at Outlaws Tattoo in Petropolis, RJ, Brasil) with his eight month pregnant sister.

Anyway, there should be a nice big BME update (starting work on that shortly with Phil) that’ll get posted tomorrow, but ModBlog is done until Moday or Tuesday… See you then! Hope it stays online — it’s getting linked like crazy because of the wristwatch piercing.
