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.

How much for a picture?

At first when I saw this photo, the tourist posing with photographs from super heroes on Hollywood Blvd popped into my head. Luckily enough for us though this is just one kick ass couple that met through BME. I love the juxtaposition of his heavily modified face and her perfectly plain skin. Gnomoweb and his bride to be are yet another couple from Brasil. 🙂

    Aptly put Mitch.
    Oral sex is the first thing I thought about when I spied this photo.
    Funny how so many mods can act as romance inhibitors.
    Basically, his mouth is “off limits” unless you want to brave those smelly, baggy holes.
    Eww.
    I imagine his muscular articulation in his philtrum/lower lip area is mostly gone.
    Once again we see the dark side to competitive self hatred.

    pweblo: his labret and philtrum probably do not have much of a scent. My labret is only 11mm but it doesn’t smell, especially if you wear something like wood or teflon (which he is wearing in the photo) For oral sex he could easily just take out his plugs. As for kissing, I have talked to people with large labrets before and they say it isn’t a problem, seeing as I don’t have one that is super large I can’t know for sure. It might be tricky, but you’d be surprised at how much your body can adapt to something or learn to work around something. I also don’t really understand what you mean by competitive self hatred? If you see heavy modification as self hatred then why are you even looking at this website?
