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.

Written by

Keeping with the requests to see more healing/healed scarification work, Tara checks in with this nicely raised year-and-a-half-old piece by the Thunder From Down Under, Wayde Dunn. Check out the fresh cutting after the jump.

    I’d also like to hear the aftercare these people used, as well as see healing/healed photos. Aftercare plays such a big part in the end product, IMHO!
