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.

The Symbolic Scar

Written by

Rob

Gabor is no stranger to getting ModBlogged, so when I saw that he had submitted a new crop of images to his scarification portfolio I knew we were in for a treat.  I’m not going to get into the religious significance behind the inverted pentacle, as it can mean multiple things to different people, instead let’s just check out an amazing large scale scar piece.
