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.

How in the world did this become a common piercing?

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Yet another fused toe piercing. This one is on Jessica (the photo is fairly fresh; less than a day old here), done by Holly at Evan’s Tattoo in Commerce, GA.

    are feet hard to keep clean during the initial healing of the piercing?
    i mean, clearly you could just wear regular shoes but it just seems that no matter what, feet end up getting dirty.
    is there not a higher risk of infection?
    just curious, not judging…
