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.

Makeup, wardrobe, haircut, and of course….a lip sewing

Written by

Sean Philips

As the BME World Tour crew is busy playing working in Australia, I thought it would be fitting to feature a picture from the land down under.

This lip sewing comes to us courtesy of Rob at Polymorph Body Piercing in Sydney.

Thank to Mandic for informing me the model is V.

    Eyelashes are very scary/bad. Looks like someone used the blender in Photoshop to do that. Icky. Everything else = good. Love the jacket.
