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.

Speaking of tasty…

Someone sent me an Easy-E portrait tattoo that I was going to post along with this photo, but I’ve misplaced it. Anyway, more autocannibalism…

    I bet the joke’s on all of us and it’s really a decorated Happy Fun Ball.

    OK… I have to say that I don’t think that’s particularly right. And this isn’t a “past my comfort zone” (though it certainly is) or a “squicking me out” (I’m rather depressed to say that it doesn’t do much of that), but all the arguments as to how there can be a deep enlightning reason for this just ring hollow when all there is… is a picture of a guy voraciously biting into the (presumably) his own testicle.

    There are far more mentally unsound reasons for doing this than mentally sound ones, and the lack of any kind of description doesn’t help lead one into a mentally sound area. It’s akin to uploading a picture of a freshly opened wrist with no explanation.

    Oh, and at the very least blur it. Even in a crowd like this it shouldn’t be assumed we’re ok with random eyefuls of autocannibalism.

    Don’t know if I’d want to bite mine, but wouldn’t say no to someone else.
