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.

    Was he punching and stretching at the same time?
    Ouch..
    I would like to have this done, only I am 16 and apparently it is a ‘misinformed choice’ until I am 18, because in a year and a half I could change my mind and this is rather permanent (not completely apparently) and I need to be 18 to get it done 🙁

    I don’t know if this is actually true, this is just what I have been told, I don’t know if Australian laws are different too etc.

    Any chance of finding out what guage punch was used here? I want to do mine, my piercer wants to punch at 4mm and taper up to 6mm or 7mm, does this sound sensible? I originally wanted to punch at 6mm or 8mm and have an 8mm or 10mm plugs/tunnels put in…
    Love the look though, im slightly envious

    Man I don’t know about y’all but that shit looks sick. If I could get away with doing that I would in a heart beat. And as for the “make up” on his forehead, that’s not make up. It looks like some super sick scarification.
