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.

Personal Evolution – Part IV

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I’m happy to release another installment in ModBlog’s series on the transformative journeys of individuals with significant facial modifications! As always, you can hit the “evolution” tag to see the whole series, and if you’d like to take part in a future post, please send me a small collection of headshot photos, starting with before you began modifying yourself, ending with where you’re at now, and a few steps inbetween (I’m easiest to reach at [email protected] or on my Facebook page). If you know someone you think should take part, send them a link to the series and encourage them. Thanks to everyone who has taken part so far. Click to zoom in, and enjoy!

    I’m seeing a trend, apparently the more modified you become the less hair you will have.
