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 Three Staages.

Open. Lift. Insert. – Without them, our forearms would be as smooth as babies bottoms, like mine.

    (And Roo, isn’t it supposed to be “be” instead of “me”, “our forearms would _be_ as smooth as babies”?)

    sweet seeing implants “in action” shot haha, but i agree with the others…i’d like to see the outcome.
    and on another note:
    i’ve noticed all the negative comments on the other modblog entries on how people don’t like the “new news” thing, and i thought yall should know i disagree. the new modblog/bme is coming along great, and i think more pleasing. good job guys *high five*

    umm is it just me or are this really shallow and isnt the insicion a tad bit close to fare from the implant is bad but to close will put far too much stress on the wound

    =/ but thats my opinion

  13. Thorn Avatar

    It is my arm ^^ DIY

    The wound carries well, I have can take off the skin farther has reason of other implants put down earlier… But everything goes well ^^

  14. mikenite Avatar

    cool cool i just say complications on some of the first implants i did when they were to close to the opening and thy would put alot of stress on the sutures

  15. Thorn Avatar

    Yes, normally I put them down, but check farther, it was on me, and the other place to incise would have too much been near the elbow joint…
    Main it is because fine ^^
