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


And finally, folks, let’s wrap up our week with this photo of the lovely (and intense!) Kali, which comes to us by way of Jimmy, he of the ever-wonderful Diablo Organics body jewelry company, which has graciously provided the ear jewelry being worn above. Lovely! Oh, and one more thing before we go…


(Tattoo by the folks at S&D Tattoo in Banbury, Oxfordshire, UK.)

What? You heard the tattoo.

/drinks bottle of turpentine

/sets forest fire

/makes sweet, tender love to forest fire

/gets tossed down a flight of stairs by forest fire

Hey, don’t look at us like that. We’re just following orders over here. And just like that, that’s the week, ladies and gentlemen. This time around:

– Amelia Dolore: Good taste in oral procedures and medical equipment.

– Aww, young love. Young, upside-down love.

– I’VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!

– Bittra would be more than happy to hold all those needles for you.

– Oregon is for lovers (and lovely suspensions).

– Zombies don’t roll on Saturdays, either.

– We were glad to have Marcus up on the ol’ ModBlogs.

– Raptor fucking Jesus.

And with that, gentle ModBloggers, we wish you all a fine weekend. Have fun, stay safe and, as always, thank you for your continued support of BME.
