Sometimes a job calls on you to go above and beyond your normal routine. For a model, this can happen quite often. In the case of IAM: Rachietartz, her latest photoshoot pushed her to the brink of consciousness. Using a tie to cut off her airway, Rachie was on the verge of passing out when this photo was snapped. You can see just how intense this was not only by the look in her eyes, but also by how red her face got while she was straining for air.

I have to agree that I don’t really see what this has to do with body modification. Unless the desired modification is brain damage. Haha.

A picture of an extremely dangerous activity. When you post something like this for public viewing, don’t be surprised when people have something to say.

I’m not surprised people have something to say. It’s my life, and I’ll do as I please. I’m not the first person to do a picture like this, and I surely will not be the last.

Rachie, do you remember this? http://news.bmezine.com/2009/04/13/the-earth-beneath/
some of the comments I got were a bit ridiculous, people just didn’t want to believe (or accept) that I willing wanted to get this piece done. I think the whole idea is really cool, I personally love being choked too. so, I understand. just not sure I’d do it for a photographer, you know? but like I said in my earlier post, kudos to you for being able to do it.

Lesha – Yeah, I do remember that post.
Understandable not sure about how you feel doing it for a photographer. Everyone has what they would be and wouldn’t be comfortable with. 🙂 Thanks for the kind words.

asphyxiophilia is awesome
this picture is awesome
this girl (Rachie Tartz) is awesome
just because people die (mostly do to their own stupidity, except with children then it’s mostly stupid parents) doesn’t mean she deserves to get lectured at for a photograph.. (a good looking one for that matter)
salvidore dali hurled cats into the air for a photograph, and photographers have done much much worse things… so this picture isn’t really bad at all compared to those i don’t think.

I like this photo and I can understand why it’s here. As for valuing life, and the thought that people die from this… people die from all sorts of things… extreme sports, martial arts, unhealthy living, even driving a car runs a risk! But allot of people take these risks everyday! Hell, I nearly died last year when a car driver pulled across the path of my motorbike, but I don’t judge people who are still biking!

Okay, no one has answered the question that others, as well as myself, have asked: What does this have to do with body modification?
Seriously, you have to apply some boundaries to the content on this site. I wasn’t aware that something that’s only subject matter could be considered “fetish play”, that has nothing to do with a modified appendage, would be profiled on ModBlog. I do realise people will bring up the European dude who inserted amazingly large pieces of metal into his torso, but wasn’t part of that article about his body’s amazing ability to heal quite greivous wounds?
This, however, simply has a girl who has a couple of facial piercings in the photo, being strangled for pleasure. Consensual, yes. But I don’t understand in what way she is modifying her body. Is the manipulation of her airway considered “body play”? And because it’s supposedly alluding to a sexual preference, does that mean it has a place on ModBlog?
ModBlog isn’t about SEX per se, actually not at all, at the end of the day it’s still about body modification, hence the MOD in ModBlog. It’s a Blog about Modification. It’s not a place to showcase deviant sexual behaviours (and I’m using deviant the same way blacks use the term “nigger”, as a form of reclamation, deviance is what keeps the world interesting, varied, and fresh).

This is possibly the most beautiful, emotive piece I have seen featured on this site in ages. For a community that subscribes to a more hardcore aspect of a fetishism, you’re all acting like a bunch of close minded, big girl’s blouses. Get over yourselves + appreciate art for the sake of art.

rachie what you do is your business and if you want to toe the death line, by all means, experiment to your lung’s content.
i do however feel that it is not appropriate to post something like this on modblog because i can guarantee that there are impressionable young-uns out there who follow modblog, want to be like all the cool modders they see, and this is the only thing that is obtainable to them. kids will not try to get a tattoo, suspend, split their dick, or gauge their ears. they will however be able to choke themselves. when posting on a popular public forum, no matter how extreme, maybe the safety of those who are dangerously impressionable should be taken under consideration?
just a thought..
