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.

Kissed Into Smiles Again


Hot damn—between his huge lip plate and stretched medusa, Jenya has altered his appearance more radically than many other people that we’ve seen, but I swear, I don’t know if anybody looks giddier and more satisfied with his appearance on a consistent basis than he does. I say it every time, but Russians, man…hearty stock and all that.

After the jump, his lip without the jewelry.

    I love how happy Jennya always is. It makes me happy that he is happy. Does anyone know about healing that kind of modification though? I would like to know if it is possible to have normal lips after this.

    He is pretty cute….but I can’t imagine having both lips stretched to such proportions. Definitely not for me.:(

    His dreads and beard (did he always have that beard? I never noticed it before. It rocks) make him look like the most modded Muppet ever, haha

    He always looks like he just friggin’ loves his life so much!

    umm.. I dunno. I dont want to shit on anyones parade, but i just dont find that attractive or flattering or even cool looking at all. I deffinitly think lip plates are pretty sweet looking but he just has too much. Meh, maybe it just the stretched philtrum. I have a sour spot for those.

    Not really my thing. I mean it looks great and all just cuz its so extreme but I’m not one for really stretched piercings. It looks so weird and uncomfortable. But I’m pretty sure he doesnt feel that way; so kudos to him. love the first pic, looks so happy n cute :]

    i kind of agree anjellica. all i could think about is how nice it is to nibble the bottom lip during the kiss, and one wrong move and you’re going to be chewing on it. blech.

  29. Bunson Avatar

    The expression on his face in the first picture reminds me of claymation characters.

    He’s awesome.

    You know, what I think is amazing about his mods is not the look of them so much as the crazy amount of time and patience he dedicated to the project. Very cool on that standard.

    As for the look, I still think it’s rad haha. Just not for my own face.

    Rock the hell on, dude. 🙂

    how does one drink with those sorts of mods? do you have to take the plates and plugs out, so they don’t clack on the glass? and can he breathe through his nose? i’m always so curious about the practical aspects of things like this…

    Crazy mods! Tons of dedication. I could never do it because I’m a wimp and would be afraid it would be too cumbersome. But damn, he always looks so happy! And his dreads are like a treasure chest with all kinds of little goodies in them. Just too damned cuddly =)

    Heh, id like to see him without his medusa plug…pulling his bottom lip through it and sticking a septum spike through it so its held up around his nose through his top lip.

    I’ve always admired how much better these “heavy” mods look on Jenya than they do and would on pretty much everyone else. somehow he manages to pull it off.

    I admire how he can pull off such extreme mods. Even moreso the fact that they look so HEALTHY.

    Certainly not for me but the first picture clearly displays how chuffed he is with them.

    Has anyone here seen his YouTube videos? I found them when I was randomly surfing one day. They’re at http://www.youtube.com/user/evlionice

    There are videos of him talking, eating, drinking, brushing his teeth, etc.

    I thought he was adorable before, but after I saw his videos, he is more adorable than you could ever imagine!

    i love his jewelery, particularly what hes done with his nose in the first pic. tribal inspired, but the teflon gives it a more modern look. and the medusa of course is gorgeous.

    im in love with lip plates..

    I dont know how he does it , but although these count as extreme mods (well, extreme to me anyway) when Jenya wears them they just look sort of natural and effortless. Maybe its his sense of style, maybe its just that hes so happy with them , but they all hang together somehow. You get the feeling that its not extreme, just a different sort of normal you havent come across before

    I don’t know about this one…

    I’m 100% for bodymodification, but (except stretched lobes) when your body is misfiguring due to the mods, I think it’s just too much.

    I hope he’s happy with it (which doesn’t seem to be a problem ^^)
