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.

    That is stunning work. Gorgeous detail, well done.

    (As an aside, am I the only one a bit concerned by the artist’s lobe?)

    Ito Elemenope’s comment re the lobes – I am not even modded like so many of you here, but even I “EEKED!!!” when I open the jump page. I have learned from many here that those lobies don’t look happy. Too much too fast equals too purple. But the cutting looks delicious! Brilliant work.

    and as for the artist’s lobe….
    it does look a bit off, i agree with 19.
