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 Blood of Baphomet

Written by

Rob

While the origins of Baphomet, a pagan/masonic/templar deity, are somewhat convoluted and mildly confusing, this scar on the other hand is nice and clear.  Although, like the deity, the origins of this scar are somewhat of a mystery as there was no artist credit included in the upload.  From the rest of the photos, which you can find in the scarification gallery, it is a collaborative piece done by the gentlemen with the head lamps in the photo.

If you recognize any of the guys in the photo, please let me know so I can give them the credit they’re due.

    Some suspensions are planned down to the last detail—others arise suddenly, yet carry just as much meaning.

For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced

Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
  • What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul

    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
