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.

    дааа… жестко.. стопудово был нормальным парнем, просто с модами, а потом запил, отсидел.. и пришел пиздец!
    не каждый день на улице встретишь!

    The same in English.. that’s not what you can see each day on the streets in Russia! I bet he was a normal guy with piercings and a couple of tatoos (one of them is well-done), but then made his way into prison, got addicted to alcohol.. and lost his common sense! To my mind he is bizzare! And concerning the prejudises.. I’t not that bad in Russia, believe me)))
    And those are not shrimps he’s eating.. it’s sausage i guess.. YUK!
