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.

Remember when 2 inches seemed ridiculously huge?

I remember back in the early 21st century, when 1 inch ears seemed huge and 2 inch one’s were extremely rare.  Now it seems 2 inch ears are “common”, well at least in bod mod circles.People have also taken to stretching other piercings to 2 inches and beyond and this becomes more and more common in our little world.

Take for instance Gandy’s 2 inch transcrotal. Where most people choose to go front to back with their T/S’. Gandy chose to go sideways with his. This placement seems like a good idea to me, as it would appear to rest far more comfortably than the traditional transscrotals, that would bump into his thighs if stretched to this size.

Gandy had this to say about his transscrotal:

These are my balls, everything was done by Quentin at Kalima, Worthing, U.K. my transscrotal being the 1st, started at 20mm, and worked up to 2 inches, my goal size. The lower ones are 6mm and 4mm, and the top one is 1.6mm. I also made the jewellery for the transscrotal.

I know im hairy, so it would also wind up the people who choose to comment on everything other then the mod/s being posted, should be a giggle.

So all you body hair phobic Modbloggers, feel free to tell him to shave, he could use a good giggle.

PS: I’d like to thank, Gandy for emailing me this submission while BMEzine.com is being renovated (and therefore less updated) and remind the rest of you, if you have any suggestions for Modblog post, feel free to use the “email this author link” next to my photo below this post.

    no shame in pubes. quite the opposite actually but that’s beside the point. i think this looks cool as shit and, unexpectedly, really hot. wish we had a view of the whole region to see how it looks altogether. no imagination i got.

    I only have my HCH to a half inch, not quite sure I could fathom taking it to an inch (or bigger) – but to those who can, DO IT! <3

    wow, that looks amazing! I’d love to see what the process is around how you actually pierce it, let alone stretch it? Fascinating!

    I wanna put my balls in those balls. Everytime I see big sack tunnels it plants the idea deeper and deeper into my mind… so this actually passes ‘through’ the sack? Otherwise its not a transscrotal right?

    mat, because its what i saw in my mind, a normal trans wasnt for me. started off by wanting a ladder of 3.2mm piercings then the idea hit me.

    im lost by what you mean, its done the very same way as a transscrotal, everything is the same only its not going front to back, but side to side, so still a transscrotal.
