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.

    That was pretty intense. Similar to the Indestructible Man stuff but that bar was much thinner. I loved the music though, was that like… I wanna say… Brujeria?

    It doesn’t really appeal to me, but as long as he’s having fun! I loved the look of achievement on his face at the end; he looekd so happy he had made it through. I’m impressed he did it while standing up!

    Seriously though…where are the gloves? It’s inexcusable really.

    Maybe the lack of gloves is because the other guy is his partner/friend? And am I right, is it indeed Brujeria? So many questions.
