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.

Damnit Lliezel!

LlIezel Ellick, you make my life difficult. I don’t want to feature any one person too often on modblog, and picking through all of your amazing submissions to BME is proving quite difficult!

In all seriousness though, Lliezel from Wildfire Tattoos in Cape Town Africa, has submitted so many beautifully photographed pictures recently, she deserves some sort of award. Since I pissed off the trophy shop guys next to my shop, I probably can’t get a good deal on a trophy, so this post will have to suffice.

In case you were wondering, yes, those buttons are sutured on!

    and hey…suture away… there is no possible way in my mind that suturing buttons onto my body could be half as agonizing as my leg piece.

    @ Paula, I’m pretty sure there’s some hip surface piercings poking out.

    what.the.fuck

    just a clue to the people complaining, you DONT have to come here, no one is asking you too, if you dont like whats being posted, take your own damn pics, and send them in, failing that, dont come here and comment such pointless words

    i think this pic is cool, the buttons are a neat idea and she is hot, what more do you want? or are the people complaining because they only want to see “hardcore shizzle” posted? there is far more to body mod than the hardcore stuff, thats what makes this world so friggin awesome, deal with the fact your not always going to see 5inch lobes, huge subdermal implants, huge wonderful tattoos, and sometimes see play piercing, smaller piercings, and the odd naked modded chick.

    Sterile buttons? That’s a first! Or did I misread it was done professionally?
    It does look pretty though, I must say!

    yes, sterile buttons. sterilized in the same steri101 (i think thats the name) fluid we sterilize all our clamps and jewelry with before autoclaving. (Lli and I both work at Wildfire Piercing Clinic)
    And yes, professionally done!

    Wow, just wow. This was worth flicking through two years of posts for. She is beautiful, and has mods that are far from the usual. There is so much scope with temporary / play piercing. One wouldn’t believe it though seeing corset after corset. Respect to her for thinking outside of the box and doing something new.
