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.

El Verno sent in some great photos of suspensions with Holy Mackerel with Eclipse Records in St. Paul, MN. First is Junior’s illuminated crucifixion, followed by a tandem superman by Willow and Celina. More photos follow after the break of course and you can see them unedited on his page and in the ritual section.

    That last picture makes me giggle–the pulling on both of their skin makes them look sort of “wavy”. 😀

    Great pics, though!
