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.

We’ve featured some of Indy‘s handiwork lately (like these vertical lowbrets, for example), and, well, he’s just submitted this excellent furry photo of Roman in the middle of a heated pulling with their pal Alex. Nothing like a bright white background to really make the red of a blood trickle pop, eh?
