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.

    I reckon its pretty cool. Looks awesome. Is it any sort of comfortable though, I wonder?

    Im surprised it fits between his teeth? I don’t believe I could fit a 30mm plug and the sides of my tounge between my teeth. Supposed he’d have to have his tongue back most of the time?

    Well I can’t see why one would do this, but I guess someone has to be the one with the biggest tongue piercing ever no matter what.

    Kudos to you, but I wouldn’t wanna be you the day you decide to take it out!
