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.

  • Happy Weekend

    joao_caldara sent in these photos of his adorable son, ThÈo. They’re in Petropolis,  Brasil which google tells me today does exist, it’s not just some evil villians hide away in some obscure comic. This is what I plan to do all weekend since I’ll be hanging out with my own little princess all week.

    I’ve got to go back to laying on the floor playing with animals that eat people who eat fairies and continue to be the faerie protector and get all the snuggles I can. Catch up with you on Monday. If Monday’s posts are a little delayed, sorry about that, I’m just preoccupied. I also tend to try and update on East Coast time but I’ll figure it out on Monday.

    Jason definitely has a very interesting menagerie of tattoos. His latest tattoo by Pecka Lindahl of Pecka’s Tatueringkonst in Stersund, Sweden is no exception. I figured I’d post this one since everyone loved the Care Bears Sleeve, that you all would no doubt dig this guy.

    I’m going to the airport shortly to pick up the darling love of my life who would also probably love this tattoo. I’m going to try to get a couple posts up over the weekend but I’d rather spend the time I have with her playing, than stuck behind a computer. Thanks again for support BME! See you guys on Monday!

    While a stretched labret piercing is something that’s become fairly common these days, I don’t get very many submissions with stretched multiple labrets. Riskysphincter has 9.5mm tusks courtesy of Karl.

    I was lucky enough to not have had a mouthful of water when I got to this submission. Crazyamerican just looks so cool and comfortable. He’s just sitting there on his leather couch, maybe watching tv, maybe there is a big bowl of cheetos out of the frame. I’m not sure what it is.

    So I’m sure you’re thinking, what was so funny about the submission? It’s the simplicity of the caption. Like it isn’t a big deal to be lugging around a big wiener. Everyone has one right? Maybe I’m just too easily amused.

    I’m sitting on a pile of tattoo photos that I wanted to post and I figured instead of spreading them out over a couple days, I’d do a nice big fat tattoo post. Hope you guys like it.

    The first piece is by Matt Geiogamah of Club Tattoo in Tempe, AZ.

    Now you know I can’t resist posting yet another Star Wars inspired tattoo. I’ll let you guys guess who this is supposed to be. Credit for the work goes to Leo Rojas Valenzuela out of Real Tattoo in Providencia, Santiago, Chile.

    For a second I thought this was another submission coming in from Brasil and I was about to catch the next plane out of chilly LA and join in on the fun. Apparently though dadilydoo took these photos in Malmo, Sweden and the suspensions were put on by the Concrete Jungle Tribe. Check out their gallery as they’ve been sending in tons of killer suspension photos.

    Evan sent in some photos of his sleeve that’s currently in progress. I figured after last weeks debacle I’d post a Star Wars tattoo that we can all get behind. This lovely battle scene is by Jim Warf of Rouge Elephant in Moreno Valley, California. Can’t wait to see it when it’s finished!
