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.

Burn Courtney, Burn!

This explosive video is being passed around the internet like roasting coals at the moment, and I like to strike whilst the iron’s hot so here’s a quick follow-up with this awesome photo taken mid-burn by Stewy (and click through for a second shot taken two days later).

    I saw the video, and it did burn fast, but I wonder if the burns will have any effect on the keloiding. The click-through looks absolutely amazing though. Props to whoever had the balls to do this!

    Jeez louise! Looks pretty intense.
    I like that design. It looks a bit off in the second photo, but I reckon it’d look fine in person. Looking forward to follow up pictures…

    Well i can tell u its smelly mighty off at the moment but the skin is slowly peeling from the parts that got lightly burnt and looks like it shouldnt affect the design. Will try to put follow up photos later on
