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.

Acrylic Insect Plug

JP Gagnon in Vernon, BC took this photo of a friend with 2″ lobes whose mother made them these great clear plugs with a big insect encased inside them. How many mothers are that supportive?

    Those are very cool. My mom is very supportive of my mods, unless the topic come up of tongue splitting. She does not like that idea at all. But, when I was a younger she’d help me dye my hair all colors of the rainbow. But, she’d always say “Hurry up before your dad gets home and, don’t tell him I helped you do this”. 😀 She also took me for my 16th birthday for my first tattoo. I love my mommy. <3
