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.

    I promised you a follow-up to this time-lapse video of Chris‘s anatomical heart scarification, and here it is!

    He’s been defibrillating it daily hoping it’ll speed up the healing process, but I haven’t the heart to tell him it won’t help.

    You all seemed to enjoy the hint of owl in this post, so here’s another bird related tattoo on a rather handsome chap!

    Clickthrough for another shot!

    I asked him if they held any particular significance and this is what he cooed/hooted/tweeted back to me..

    “Each of the birds has a particular significance (Roo: Yeah ok, I stole those two words and pasted them above) to me. I chose a flock of completely different birds because they are each beautiful and unique like the convictions they stand for..

    Clockwise: Peacock – Vanity. Duck Hunt – Appreciation for a digital lifestyle. Hummingbirds – Fitness, Toucan – Deforestation and environmentalism. Owl – Knowledge. Cardinal – Family. Ravens – Appreciation for literature. Bird from “Berenstain Bears and the Truth“ – Honesty, and finally the Condor (center) – Stability (plus it tied everything together nicely!).“

    Apologies for the video glitch, I’ve moved the post back to draft for now and we’ll sort it out as soon as we can*.

    Hopefully it’s the last of the gremlins we need to keep dry conquer!

    Quite a few of you non-IAMer’s have asked how my ayes are doing.. I’m over the moon to say they’ve healed beautifully without any complications! Clickthrough for another photo (both taken by Allana a few days ago, because I’ve yet to work out how to use my camera).

    *Edit – Fixed! I’ll put the video post up again tomorrow morning!
