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

It’s been 3 months since we first saw this scar by Brian Decker.  Since then the scar is raising up nicely and the colouration is leaning towards a darker scar.  Of course over the next year or so things could change drastically, but I think it’s safe to assume this one will definitely stay raised.

    That gear design is so strong and concise. Why complicate and detract from said strength with the redundancy of the infinity symbol? It looks like a ribbon on top of John Travolta’s toupee.

    Whew.

    Wow, one of the better scar “after” pictures I have seen. The infinity symbol has the clearest and sharpest line after healing, it really ties the piece together.
