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.

An elegant suit of armor

Written by

Rob

The grand total of piercings for this chest corset was 86, making it one of the bigger ones we’ve seen both in terms of piercings and coverage.

The only thing that could make this better is if a puppy were involved..   Oh wait..

    While the puppy is adorable, I wouldn’t want a puppy cuddling up to my fresh piercings… *shrug* cute, though.

    I agree with Kat too, also the ring of fake Ivy leaves on the head in the first photo just looks sort of out of place to me, like it just doesn’t belong there… but the corseting is beautiful!
