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.

When in Doubt, Listen to Samppa

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Sayeth the gentleman pictured above:

At first I wanted to have five implants, but then I received an e-mail from Samppa saying that six would be much cooler, so he gave me the sixth transdermal for free! Thanks again, Samppa!

(Transdermal implants by Samppa at Max Max Tattoo and Piercing, lobes by Rob at Rings of Pleasure.)
