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.

This Week in BME

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Let’s see…guns? Check. Money? Check. Why do I feel like Mia is forgetting something?

Of course! Quick, someone send lawyers—the shit’s gonna hit the fan.

And now, folks, our week has come to an end. What went on this time around?

– The horrible Starface-Gate came to a welcome end.

– Oh hey, a “permanent” corset!

– This is just one of the nicest damn portraits—Dali or otherwise—you’re gonna see in quite some time.

– And here is some shocking vulgarity, etc.

– Come to Tattoo Hollywood! Come on, you know you want to.

Now get off the computer—it’s glorious outside. Enjoy your weekend, friends, and thank you for your continued support of BME.
