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 Friday Follow-up

Written by

Hey guys and gals, it’s time for this week’s edition of the Friday Follow-up.  This time around we’ve got a lily cutting done by IAM:kcir.

To see the healed version, you know what to do.

Now there wasn’t a time frame given between the photos, but I know kcir checks ModBlog so hopefully he’ll be kind enough to give us some idea of how far along into healing this scar is.

    Not a huge fan of the design… or execution. Even the simple rays are wonky and uneven.
