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.

Until the Very End of Me


Good morning, ModBloggers! Let’s start the day with the lovely darkgrrrl, who, in addition to plenty of fine work, is sporting an excellent horror movie-themed sleeve. Check out a few more shots after the jump.

    no no no

    the goal isn’t criticism. basically what i was saying is that bme is absolutely NOT the place to judge another person’s appearance. seriously. i know that when i joined, i did it to be in a place where i could meet other people into body modification. if someone were to tell me that because im overweight im not good enough to be respected in this community for my body modifications… well then there was no point coming here in the first place. i can be judged elsewhere. and it hurts more when it happens here, you know?

    but not only that, bme and modblog should represent all facets of the world of body modification. and that includes people of all races, genders, AND bodytypes.

    first off, ennui, you might be pretty, but you’re a bitch.

    second, being ‘overweight’ does not cause alcoholism or smoking — what the hell planet are you from, kiki? yeah, there can be health complications from being heavier, like heart disease, but anemia and malnutrition can be complications of being thin, so whatthefuckever.

    how do we decide what’s overweight anyway? the “bmi” index that’s so popular is notoriously flawed. a lot of people who are “heavy” or “fat” are actually healthier than people who are thin.

    fact: some people are just heavy. period. not because of what they eat, not because they don’t exercise, but because that’s their body type and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. if those people suddenly lost 100 lbs and became thin, they would be unhealthy.

    do i disagree with the “real woman” comments? yes. because all women are real, period, and you can’t be more or less real than somebody else. but i have an extraordinary amount of respect for women who aren’t slaves to what modern society deems pretty. i mean, christ, isn’t that what we’re about here?

    and anyone who goes around insulting people based on their weight is, frankly, a bigot who judges people on appearance, and basically a shitty human being, so fuck you very much.

    Let’s not forget that fat people smell bad. All those rolls to wash between. If they’re too lazy to exercise and lose weight, then they’re likely to be too lazy to wash between their copious rolls.

    And since when did we start using terms like “chubby” when we really mean FAT. Or “thin” when we should say SKINNY. Fuck people, any end of the weight spectrum is unhealthy. Let’s just agree that being fat is unhealthy, I think we can all agree on that point.

    My nanna has a medical condition requiring surgery she can’t afford,and has a direct result been overweight all her life.In fact,fat.

    You are fucking offensive.I cannot think of the words to express how narrow minded and judgemental you are.

    This girl is hardly at one end of the weight spectrum. I’d say she is squarely in the middle.

    If Modblog posted more pictures of curvier girls, maybe they wouldn’t get so many disgusting comments. People might realize that there are larger women involved in this community as well, and that everyone is welcome here. Just a thought.

    People need to shut up unless they have something positive to say…

    I must have forgotten that half of you dense, idiots are still in high school or, of lesser education.

    to squirrelgirl… fyi… me and my “lame tramp stamp” have been on modblog like 4 or 5 times in case you haven’t noticed.

    alix, you have nothing pertinent to say… except basically, ‘overweight people are fine so shutthefuck up’ and to tell me that i’m a bitch… so next time, come with a real argument.

    yes, i do judge people from appearance… it works 99% of the time, believe it or not.

    1) Is Kiki brendon or brendan or whoever the last troll was? Probably not, kiki spells better.

    2) Alix had a real argument, being, that there are different body types. Studying medical sciences for years must have surely given you had good background on metabolism and genetics?

    3) Everytime I think being tattooed gives people a better perspective on the whole mind/body/”what is physical beauty anyways” thing, I always get proved wrong so fast……..

    There are a lot of kneejerk reactions on here, so here’s mine: Fuck both of you.

    Kiki and EnnuiZero: where are you any time a fat dude is posted? That’s right, you sit on your hands, because this isnt about what’s attractive (which is subjective and therefore irrelevant) or what’s healthy (being fat doesnt mean you’re not healthy and being skinny doesn’t mean you are. Any doctor worth his or her weight can tell you that.), it’s about tearing down another woman, so save it.
