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.

  • Shock and D’awwwww

    I tend to shy away from obviously photoshopped photos, but when it comes to horror photography that involves suspensions, I let it slide.  To be fair the background is where about 99% of the photoshop work is, the rest is all practical make-up and props.

    So clearly this photo of JackeeLynn is the “Shock” portion of this post.  Keep on reading to see the “D’awwwww” half, as well as the uncensored version of this photo.

    Thank you to Christine & Rhys for the use of their space!

    The suspension was facilitated by SuperDirk from BC’s Local Hookers Suspension Team.  As for the cuteness, here’s a photo from JackeeLynn and Dirk’s wedding that took place a couple of months back.  Congrats you two!

  • Does this count for Movember?

    We’re 2 weeks away from Movember (or No Shave November if you prefer) so now’s the perfect time to start getting ready to send in those pictures of some fantastic facial hair.  The question now is, does Joeltron‘s stretched lobes to septum ‘stache count?

    Oh, and of course we can’t forget his implants, piercings, lip disc and his tattooed eyeball.

    Jane-Marie Ravelo from The Miami Tattoo Company sent in a series of photos from a shoot that she did the piercings for. No word on who the model is, but you can get a better look at her and the piercings in the ritual and play piercing gallery.

    Resident Lego junkie JackeeLynn is back with another Lego inspired tattoo.  If you look closely you can see the Lego webbing that he’s swinging from.

  • Rub his head for good luck

    We’ve seen half of Joeltron‘s head before when we took a look at his Tron recognizer tattoo.  Today we’ve got a look at the back of his head where Tominator added a good luck kitty using the BME Smile Cat logo.  That kitty may look tough, but when your tank exhaust has little red hearts coming out of it, the tough level goes down and the cute level goes up.

    I never knew Batgirl was an asstronaut.

    Here’s some great blackwork/dotwork from Marc of Swastika-Freakshop.  And before anyone even thinks to say it, no this isn’t a nazi symbol.

    Patsy Cline is one of the few country artists that even folks who don’t listen to country music can enjoy.  Although something tells me that the owner of this tattoo is probably a country fan.
