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.

One of those Paulys anyway…

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Am I imagining things when I say that when Pauly Unstoppable takes out his piercings and makes this glum face (taken in utter boredom in his many hours of daily transit commuting) that he looks disturbingly similar to Pauly Shore? Seriously, do a Google Image Search and see if you agree with me. Either way, it’s always fun for me getting to see Pauly without his jewelry in those superbly large nostrils he has (as well as his cartilage monsters).

    this isnt the pauly i know 😉 i miss the extreme. i can understand that if piercings ever become a hindrance it seems like a handicap or other times people just get tired to upkeep or want something new so i’m supportive it is his body afterall but In my own opinion it looked better before. either way i hope to see more of him soon.
