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

Rob

In brightest day…

In blackest night..

Today’s follow-up is an awesome sight

I remember seeing Josh walking around with the scar at SusCon, and then going over to southtownbaby and demanding follow-up pictures as soon as she got them.  This was one of the first few scars that she had done, so seeing it heal is part of the learning experience to a budding scarificiation artist.  So it’s been a couple of months, let’s take a look at how it’s healing up.

So here’s the scar after the first month of healing.

And here’s a photo of it another month later.

You can see that as it healed, certain areas raised up more than others.  This is due to how each person heals, as well as how the skin moves on that part of the body.  You cans see more of Misty’s work in her BME Portfolio Gallery

    *sigh* I wish we knew ways to make certain that you’d end up with a(n evenly) raised scar. So pretty.
