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.

A couple of very nice chests

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Sorry, it’s not a boob entry, I just wanted to post a couple of chestpieces from recent updates that I really liked. This acorn-themed piece, c/o munin_and_hugin, is by Jeremy Fierto at Liquid Courage in Omaha, NE.

The second chestpiece I wanted to put up for adoration is this fetus c/o fist_intheair, tattooed by Heather Mclean at Strange World Tattoo in Calgary, Alberta.

    The second fetus, for those who are wondering, was a DaVinci etching. There were four views. The walnut, though, was an extremely thick (and thus anatomically incorrect) uterine lining.
