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.

  • From The Vault: Female Chastity

    Written by

    Sean Philips

    I decided to hit up a gallery I haven’t really looked in before to find a feature for modblog, so I checked out the Female Chastity gallery on BME Hard.  There were some fairly recent additions from last December, but just three pages back I found these pictures from 2005! To go back five years in only three pages is a rarity on BME, and I know there are quite a few ladies who partake in these sort of activities, so here is my chance to politely ask those ladies to start submitting some pictures!

    Obvously, handcuffs alone don’t quite cut it for chastity, so for the  chastity piercing you are going to have to keep on keeping on.

    Chastity devices come in all types, for all sexes, but for the ultimate commitment it takes piercings. Obviously, the most common use of piercings for chastity is like what is shown here, labia piercings connected to close off the vaginal entrance. Either inner or outer labia piercings can achieve this effect and the more pairs done, the more effective as chastity devices. In these pictures the wearer is connecting 2 cbr’s with a padlock, but a more secure way of doing this would be to wear the padlock through the piercings themselves. Another, example of female chastity is the clit shield, which doesn’t stop penetration but (theoretically) stops clitoral stimulation. For more examples of female chastity, via piercings and other methods, check out the gallery. Of course,  the boys aren’t left out, they have their own gallery as well.

    Megan Smith sent us this simple, yet striking picture along with the following information:

    The thigh tattoos are about a month old in the pic, and done by Ben at Tattoo City in Wellington, NZ. I took the photo myself with trusty Mr Tripod and Mr Self Timer. Also visible are my 1/2″ ears and half of my paired arm tattoos.

  • Oh Swayze……

    Last time we featured a tattoo on Modblog  that was a tribute of one of Patrick Swayze’s films, it payed homage to the film, Roadhouse. Personally, I would have preferred the next tribute piece we featured to be a classic Swayze film be dedicated to the movie Point Break, but since none have been submitted, I guess this will fill the void for now.

    This tattoo is on Melle.Luka and was done in her actual handwriting by Mylooz in Brussels, Belgium.

    This photo was submitted by ONEalan, who didn’t appear to be on IAM.  I have nothing insightful to say about this picture, but holy cow cadavers, does it belong on modblog!

    Of course the non-blurred version is available on the click through.

    Update: As requested, some close ups of the tattoos. Unfortunately, these were as big as I could get.

  • The curves of your lips rewrite history

    Another 200 or so new photos have been added to BME so far today including this one. The piercings were done by Samantha Robles out of WAY Body Arts in Santa Cruz, California.

    You’re looking at a healed 6ga philtrum. I’m not sure what gauge the nostrils are but I love the way these piercings compliment the face; especially the way the philtrum sits in the center of an exaggerated bow. I think this mouth was made for a philtrum, how about you?

    Close up after the jump.
