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.

Fortunella Beware!

Written by

RooRaaah Crumbs

It’s much easier getting blood out of a Kumquat than it is a stone..

“So, last night I tried something I’ve always wanted to do.. I have mixed feelings how it turned out but I fucking loved the blood! It poured down from my forehead to my crossed legs, leaving a lovely mess of blood on the couch (which I adore). It didn’t end up looking the way I wanted it to but things in your head often don’t turn out the way you expect..”

Read on to see the aftermath!

And as your finger’s still hovering over the mouse button, clickthrough for a chin-shot.

    The blood picture is an amazing visul.
    If you could choose a way for the blood to go I think it’d be like that.

    I like how calm the first picture looks…then the second picture…BAM! I wonder if she tilted her face in a couple different directions afterward just to see what pattern the blood made. Good pictures 🙂
