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.

Make a wish

Written by

Rob

If you wished for another amazing scar by Brian, then consider your wish fulfilled.

This dandelion cutting was done in conjuncture with a low setting hyfrecator branding.  This isn’t the only cutting/branding combo Brian has done, so head over to his BME portfolio gallery and check the rest out.

    This is amazing.
    Does anyone know of any scarification/branding artists in and or around the Detroit area or even in/by Michigan?
    I plan on getting something done this summer but can’t find anyone who does such work.

    This is officially my favorite scarification piece I’ve ever seen. Amazing! I, also, would love to see this as it heals.
