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.

It’s Smile Time!

Written by

Rob

What is it about cheek piercings that make people’s smiles seem bigger?  What’s neat is that these aren’t actually cheek piercings; they’re microdermals put in by Joeltron.  Joel just updated his BME gallery with a lot of his recent piercings, so head on over and check it out.

p.s. Sorry if the headline got your hopes up for a puppet related post.

    She sure did! I think anchors, if done correctly, in the right areas can last forever.

    I have had ones myself happily in for over 4 years and cheek anchors heal up very very fast due to the rich blood supply and thick tissue.

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    by Jonathon
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break.

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.
