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.

Paraplugs Redux

Some of you were left with questions after the last post to feature Michael‘s incredible 30 mm. tongue piercing. Well, here are some alternate angles! This is just massive, to say nothing of the 11.5 mm. philtrum and 22 mm. oval labret.

    This looks like a happy well healed piercing. I saw a smaller one in person with what looked like a wicked blow out. Not pretty.

    I’d assume he can do things with his tongue pretty much the same as a person without the mod. The human body adapts very well.

    Kudos to you, sir. For some reason I cringe whenever I think of stretching a piercing near or in my mouth because of the crusties and the smell and such. Do you not get those with a tongue stretching?

    I don’t see how someone can NOT split their tongue.. best mod ever.. I wouldn’t put my tongue back together for any amount of money. (Well, if they offered me a million dollars, I’d put it back together and then split it again!)
    It is impressive its that big, but is it really that good of an idea… I can imagine taste would be affected, and that would suck.. I could barely talk with a 4ga tongue piercing (pre-split).
    At least its healthy and healed. I wonder if he just stretched, or scalpelled along the way..
    I wouldn’t do it but props to him for getting it healed nicely, and living with possible complications!
