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.

Now that’s a do.

Let me restart ModBlog by saying one truth that I have observed by running what is an increasingly international site: Russians consistently have by far my favorite hairdos. Case in point: pjevl, who also has an awesome gigantic labret.

    He’s got dreads now, but I really liked the big hair! I love big hair, on both guys and girls…

    I also love 70s camaros, so maybe my taste is a little dated though!

    It looks like he’s really struggling to keep his mouth in that position.

    He’s desperate to avoid gurning which naturally happens with such large gauge labret jewellery.

    Does anyone know where to buy teflon jewelry like this besides TUFLON.COM (he’s only filling wholesale orders at the time)? I need a comfy labret piece. Even a nice organic piece would do, this SSS is killing my gums and teeth.

    so what happens to your lip if … you decide to take out the piece? does it stretch back up? or is it like lobes .. that maybe it will, maybe it won’t?

    Mitch – Try Oracle Body Jewellery. They have some fantastic pieces for stretched labrets there. Bodyartforms have some large if pricey stuff.

    Kind of reminds me of Jim Carrey from The Grinch, with some obvious adjustments.

    Every comment on here is negative towards large labrets. That sucks.
