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.

Guess What?

Written by

Rob

I’ve got to say.  We’ve been getting some pretty awesome Guess What? worthy submissions in the past few weeks.  This week is no exception.  Even without the cropping this photo is unusual, so make sure to think outside the box when you make your guesses.

So, what do you think this is?  Read on to see if you’re right.

So.  How many of you guessed that it was a stretched lobe, being pulled through a cheek piecing, and held in place with a split tongue?  I’m going to guess not too many.  And that adorable mug belongs to the one and only Joeltron.
