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.

Gushed And Damned

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


And here we have the lovely Cale, sporting these 20-point self-done play piercing corsets, which are not only awfully pretty, but also a sensible sartorial option before breaking out your autumnal pantaloons. This sort of thing interest you? You can find our model piercing (and apprenticing as a tattoo artist) at Anchors Away Tattoo in Denver, Colorado. If you visit her, tell her Jordan sent you. It won’t get you any special treatment—I just think it’d be funny.

    They look great on her. It’s a shame they’re temporary.

    Cute. I love the blue gingham ribbon 😀

    Shame they’re covering up all her tattoos though… I’d prefer to see more of those.
