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.

    Looks amazing! although i assume it would get pretty easily caught on clothing and the like.

    Love the pants also ;-P

    I really love that. Is it going over an existing scar? Really cool idea.

    I HAVE THOSE PANTS!

    The piercings are a nice idea, as well. I’m assuming that’s a scar?

    Fucking awesome! It’s great how the scar was used and turned into something aestethically positive. Great work.

    Can’t be an appendix scar. What doctor would cut out the appendix from that far up?
    Usually, the cut is smaller and further down, closer to the genitalia, on the right leg.

    Looks really good, I’m just wondering what the future holds for their permanence.

    My appendix scar is that far up – loving the idea of turning it into something pretty rather than just an ugly mark

    Wow. In order to help those babies to survive, the owner is going to be wearing a lot of low rise pants…

    That seems like it would poke you in the ribs when you sit down.

    Whoop Whoop well well i didnt notice this was on here

    well may i say that there was never any idea that this was to be a permanant thing

    it was solely for fun i gave her a massive discount and she took them out after a couple of weeks

    theres no way anything like this would survive much longer than that

    this was done in the days waaaaaay before micro-dermals 🙂

    thanks for the nice comments everyone

    sweet as as I thought it was a recent piece… I just read my comment, I seemed like an ass hole. Sorry about that.

    That’s a big scar, and a very flat stomach. Tummy tuck? I don’t know how far to the other side it goes. Nice way to decorate it, but there’s nothing wrong with scars!

    oh i forgot to add that the lady wearing this piece was in her 30′s and this was done about 4yrs ago and sent me the photo a few days after.
