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.

Jessestar <3s Scars

Written by

I’m pretty sure there’s not much I need to say about this awesome cautery scalp branding, other than it’s by Steve Haworth (more, if you have half an hour to kill) and on the very gorgeous Jessestar (more)..

Plenty more appearing on BMEzine.com soon!

    nice. I just watched similar procedure done and it smelled so bad,haha. But nevertheless, it was amazing and I loved the way it looks.
    Pretty rough healing process from what I’ve seen

    what is wrong with people. im all for getting tattoos/piercings and finding new ways to express yourself, but this guy looks like a fucking idiot , straight up. might as well get unemployed tattooed on his forhead. he doesnt look cool or original, im suprised he hasnt got his head kicked in yet.
