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.

From The Vault: Male Breast Implants

There is an age old debate on BME as to whether or not breast implants fall into the same category of body modification as the mods more frequently covered on BME. The point that is usually argued is that breast implants are done to fit into societies ideals, whereas tattoos and piercings are more or a rebellion to those same ideals. Of course, since those original arguments were made tattoos and piercings have become a major part of mainstream society. Whether it be the extremely common piercings or the tattoo imagery that is now printed on everything from t-shirts to high end purses, our subculture is quickly being integrated into mainstream culture.

Well these pictures certainly qualify as body modification, by any sense of the definition. A masculine appearing man getting breast implants, now that is going against societies norm! Well unless you do it for money.

These pictures were submitted in 2004 by IAM:manybodiedman (who no longer appears to be on IAM).

    Why has he got stitches under the breast and around the nipples? Don’t they usually only put the implants in one way or the other?

    You people should pay closer attention, the linked article is not about the man featured here!

    Quite unexpected, if he’s not transgen. Would really like to know if he got them purely for the aesthetic value, or because of something else.

    Just a few quick question, and it might be kind self explanatory, but….
    – Do you think the nipples were pierced before after the surgery?

    Just so everyone is clear, the man in this post is not Brian Zembic as quoted above, this an entirely different man. Those may have been Brian’s motivations, but we don’t know the motivations of the gentleman in the post above.

    Yeah, we do know the motivations of the guy above; a previous commenter linked to his website: http://www.eldjaytee.co.za/ He apparently sometimes goes by the name …, and calls his body modification “The Embedded Form Project” (cool name). He says of it: “One foundation for [people’s current] destructive behaviour is the assumption that everything is made up of binaries: zeros and ones. Everything is seen to be separate from and opposed to everything else. Yet, behind the dualist thinking which characterises most public discourse, all things are interconnected. People are not separate to and immune from the forces of the universe, but are intertwined and interdependent with each other and their environments. . . . This Project is a challenge to the oppositional thinking that has characterised so much of our recent history. It entails using plastic surgery, body modification, tattooing and self-performance to represent a desire for changes in dominant conceptions of masculinity, sexuality and the body.”

    I think it’s interesting, unique, and thought provoking.
