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.

  • Nip Split

    This is one of those cautionary tales that somehow turned out all right in the end.  Of course, it took the help of three modification artists to make it happen, but I’d say it was worth it.  Here’s the story in Joeltron’s words.

    Originally pierced at 12g and stretched WAY too fast to 12mm (by himself) with acrylic stretchers. Never a good thing, especially for this poor nipple! After the reconstruction they are nearly totally back to normal, except for a little bit of lost sensation.

    So with the help of Howie and B-Slice, Joel was able to revert this nipple disaster.

    Here’s another healed implant from Joeltron.  This one taking the shape of a padlock with a heart in the middle, a design I don’t think we’ve seen as an implant before.

    Joel works at First Blood in Sydney, Australia.

    And you’d be smiling too if you’d just gotten pierced by John Joyce.  And besides, there’s nothing wrong with a pretty girl smiling.

  • Boobs are squishy

    This scar by Brian is just flat out incredible.  His technique, as always, is pretty much perfect.  However, given the nature of the area being cut, it’s an even greater accomplishment.  This is what Brian had to say about it.

    If anyone wonders, cutting boobs is tough. Very squishy and no resistance.

    Sorry, no clickthrough this time.

    These implants were put in by both Joel and Howie.  Given how light the entry scars are, I’d guess they’ve been in there a while.  Check the comments section, I’m sure Joel will be happy to chime in and let us know how old they are.

    SMLDG stands for Split-Mini-LDG, today’s morning BMEGirl.  It also happens to be the script in the middle of her chest piece.

    Honestly, I’ve just given up on trying to predict what the Kaptive8 Suspension Krew is going to do next.  Here’s Supa in an invisible chair suspension, in tandem with a single point chest on both himself and another team member.
