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.

The Game’s Worthwhile

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Well, that was kind of a long day, was it not, folks? But you know something? You all stuck with it, and that, well…that’s a kind of temerity they don’t teach at school. Not usually, at least. Maybe at Brown, or something. But anyway! It’s the kind of performance that deserves, at the very least, a hearty high-five, and for my money, there’s no better candidate to dole out these smacks of good-will than Jamin up there, sporting, among other bits and pieces, that handsome palm tattoo by Anji at ?High Priestess in Eugene, Oregon, which was fresh when this picture was taken. Now, though? High-five away, fair ModBloggers, and all through the night. Until tomorrow.

    I would *lovelovelove* to see some older palm tattoos. I’m seriously considering something like this but the one’s I’ve seen look so bad after a while. Like dirty hands. :/ aww. I hope this stays pretty.

    Damn that little curl on his forehead is so sexy! 🙂

    By far not the most attractive ever on ModBlog. Maybe without the DTM he’d be ok.

    i’m curious if the jewelry in the conch of his ear distorts the natural acoustics that are all up in there… would stuff sound weird/echo or whatever?

    also, very nice tattoo, i love the hair a LOT *crush*

    I love the jewelry in his ears and his forehead curl is cuter than puppies in raincoats.

    6- Yeah, the nostrils are both all bloody. According to his IAM he got them done the same day. 🙂
