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.

    It’s weird that she’s scalpel to such a small size. I understand that some people simply won’t stretch (my wife can’t get past 1/2″ for anything), but it’s weird to think that someone would go through the trouble of scalpelling without getting drastic results.

    I’m not complainging, by any means… her ear looks great. It’s just strange.

    perhaps she wants a more permenant 1/2 so she did this as opposed to stretching; or didn’t want to go through the trouble of gauging them.

    they’re adorable though, for sure- and I love the snakebites.

    holy shit

    hahaha what the hell i randomly decide to check out bme’s modblog for the first time in my entire life and what do i see but a photo of myself. how fucking weird.

    anyway to answer some questions – jayme scalpelled my ears from absolutely NOTHING to 00g in march, and in june she scalpelled them to 15mm. going from having no holes in my ears to 15mm within a few months was a pretty big step for me, haha.

    Wow, glad other people are recognizing the beauty and full out sexiness that is the wonderful Sabrina! I feel she pulls off the looks very well, regardless of the size. In fact, the size she has maintains, atleast for me, a femininity while a rather larger size would not be as visually appetizing. So Sabrina, to you I say “RIGHT ON! Way to be edgy and sexy all in the same package.” Love you, doll.
