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.

    Last time I visited you (I was the girl who was so happy with her books about bacteria xD) I noticed it already but was too shy to ask about it. But it looks great now it’s healed 🙂

    It wasn’t as scary as it looks. Lukas was really sweet. And for the record, it was a present from Sharon, not from myself 🙂
