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.

Crucifixion aint no fiction!

Written by

Shannon Larratt

It’s no secret that Ascension has the best looking girls in sideshow performing with them — as you can see in these photos by Noland Rudi…

…but their shows push the limits on all levels — at the Kink show they did back in May, the show included Steve crucifying _Stigmata_!
