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.
  • It’s a good Friday

    Here’s a little something Easter inspired for those celebrating Good Friday today.

  • Guess What?

    Zero.  That’s right none, zip, nada.  That’s how many people are going to get this one.

    Take your best guess.  It’ll be wrong, but guess anyway.

    Now unless you’ve already seen this in the galleries, there’s no possible way you could have guess that you were looking at a heavily play-pierced hand

    Here’s one more just to give you a bit of perspective on just how many needles there are.

    A big thanks to Sadistica for giving us yet another picture for Guess What?  Be sure to check out Sadistica’s hard bonus gallery.


  • She’s a little shy

    When asked why her previous BMEGirl posts didn’t involve nudity, Katya said that she was too shy.  Thankfully she wasn’t feeling shy today.

    You’re really going to want to read ahead for this one…

    In the immortal words of Chris Tucker and Ice Cube…

    Daaaaaamnnn!!!


  • The Friday Follow-up

    It’s been a while since we’ve had one of these, but thanks to kev_n, we’ve got a great follow-up for you today.  You may recall this scarification piece for a little ways back.

    It was originally mislabeled as a dermabrasion scar, when it was indeed done with a scalpel by Matt Vermillion from Artistic Design (West) in Indianapolis, Indiana.

    Here’s how the scar looks now, about six weeks into the healing process.

    You can already see how thick the keloids are, and they’ll more than likely increase just based off the location of the scar.  Hopefully kev_n keeps us posted with more shots as he continues to heal.


  • Scrotal Stars

    If you recall, a couple of months back Naoise-Ryan Israel got a Star of David branded on his scrotum by Samppa.  It’s been a few months, and it’s time to check in and see how the healing is coming along.

    Keep on reading if you want to see the whole picture.

    Check out Naoise-Ryan Israel’s Hard Bonus Gallery to see more photos.


  • The Monkey’s Paw

    For those of you who have been requesting a hairy BMEGirl, I give you Miss Tuesday Laveau.

  • ‘Til death do they part

    Leave it up to the crew at #Leeds Airlines to take a suspension and turn it into a postmortem wedding photo.

    Here’s a full shot of the bride’s suspension.


  • Look into her eyes

    The BMEShop has another new shirt ready to go.  This one was designed by Kenneth Botsford Jr. who some of you may know as IAM:Zeus.  This isn’t the first t-shirt design created by a member of the community, and it certainly won’t be the last.    So to all those artists out there who have a great idea for a BME shirt, just send an e-mail to [email protected] with your design and your shirt could be the next one printed up.

    And just because I can, here’s IAM:Gisella_Rose showing off her own medusa, as well as the rest of her.

  • Is True Blood back yet?

    Because Morgy would fit right in with the hot naked vampires.


  • Way Down in the Hole

    Now don’t pay heed to temptation
    For his hands are so cold
    You gotta keep the Devil
    Keep him on down in the hole
    -Tom Waits: “Way Down in the Hole”
