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.

Did that Hurt?

Knucklehead Nick  from Tattoo Angus (Guess how many times I wrote Anus before getting it right?) in Manchester, NH had some free time on his hands but unfortunately now it looks like he’s got a big mess to clean up.

    This is amazing.
    Although, is it one long tunnel, or individual jewellry for each bit?
    Either way, it’s pretty damn stunning.

    Whoa! What? Isn’t that a bone in your nose that divides the nostrils?! I guess not. Either way whatever it is must have sucked to punch a hole into! Hmm.

    I had to have my septum done twice in the same session to get it to sit right, hurt like hell. Can’t even to begin to squishy amounts of pain going through that high up in such condensed cartilage.

    Kudos.

    By the look of it, the nostrils were punched (or pierced at a HUGE gauge) first and tunnels put in, then a smaller septum needle was pierced through the tunnels. That’s the only way I could see the second picture working.

    OUCH!!!

    Ack. Had mine done once. The guy wanted to do it was a ten or twelve. Not the most terrible thing but it wasn’t at all pleasant.

    The nasallang is one of the only piercings that makes me literally squirm at the thought of it. The only other’s are ampallang and appadrava.

    @ 11.
    it dosnt look like it was done all in one session, hes probably been working on his nostrils for a while and had the nasal septum done after his nostrils were large
