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.

    Is the desire to do something this extreme part of body integrity identity disorder?

    Most body modifications are cosmetic in nature… but something like amputating a thumb seems to me like it would be fairly debilitating.

    i definately don’t have nothing against this mods and related…but what comes to my mind is…when it is too much for a modification and starts crossing the line towards mutilation? if we consider mutilation as the act of any practice that will restrain ourselves from our natural abillities. i think it’s cool that people love and njoy this type of mod…sometimes i just don’t see how thick that line is…
