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.

The Doctor Is On Fire!

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I’m told that ModBlog will be offline briefly tonight for some maintenance that will hopefully address some of the slow-down and inaccessibility issues we’ve been having this week. It shouldn’t be offline for very long.

Other than that, enjoy today’s content and the interview with DJ Minor, and I’ll return tomorrow morning with a couple thousand more pictures (half of which are in BME/extreme and BME/HARD — memberships are available again if you didn’t notice) as well as another new interview. Finally, c/o iam:crazy4tat2s2004, this awesome Valentine’s day “Body Two” style Dr. BME tattoo by Patty Colebank at Thinkin’ Ink in Morgantown, West Virginia.

    Patty is amazing! It’s awesome to see a piece of her work on Modblog. She did a replication of “The Lady of Shalott” on a friend of mine that’s just gorgeous. Highly recommended to anyone in the Morgantown area…

    Evan – Not sure if Shannon’s about tonight so I’ve corrected it. I’m always about because I have no life!

    Reminds me of the hatchet guy from House of 1000 Corpses.

    it’s very nice. it’s too bad the eyepieces are a little wonky.

    That is the way the eyepieces were in the drawing they are suppose to be that way.It wasn’t a mistake on pattys part. She tattooed it as I gave it to her.
