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.

Wait and Bleed

Written by

Rob

I would have featured this Friday as a follow-up piece, however I couldn’t find any fresh photos of the text portion of the scar.  Given how dark and raised the text is, I’m going to assume the star is also going to turn out similar.  Even if you’re not a fan of Slipknot, you can still appreciate the scar.

    I love slipknot and this scar! Awesome that it didn’t puff up so much as to blend the letters together!
