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 Floor Is Made Of Lava!

Written by

I must admit, I’ve been putting off posting these for a few days, only because I like feet and what happened to Marcus is spoiling it a little for me..

Read more to found out how they got in this state!

The best part was when they scrubbed my feet and legs with toothbrushes twice a day..

“I had a house fire! A propane tank leaked while I was living in a small town in Alaska, we had no natural gas lines which is why we had the tank.. Propane is heavier than air and it pooled around my feet and when it caught that spark my side and arm and face got kissed, but my feets took the brunt..”

Actually, I guess the best part was the painkillers!

“My feet are okay now although my tattoos are covered by unnecessary skin grafts. I could have healed in the right environment but I was three thousand miles from home and most of my friends didn’t even have running water. I ended up in the hospital for about two weeks, they did the skin grafts to speed up the healing and get my uninsured ass out into the real world. I was hobbling around on crutches at the bar a month later, munching pain pills, throwing up in trash cans, and hitting on old hot blondes!“

Poor lad.

    I’m laughing at how people are saying that it looks painful. I think I’ve seen a few things on this site that could be considered more painful-looking >_<

    Hope you’re feeling better, dude!
