There’s something about Selfishlove that makes me think of Debbie Harry. Of course, a much younger and modified Debbie Harry.

If you want to see it without the blurry bits, you know what to do.
This one is pretty self explanatory. Although I am curious as to where the Roadrunner tattoo is.

The Friday Follow-up
Written by
This week’s follow-up is taking a look at a scar done by none other than Ron Garza. These photos were uploaded around the same time, so I don’t have an exact time frame for the healing, but from what you can see, it’s looking good. Here’s how the scar looked when it was freshly cut.
And here’s how it looks today.
Personally, I love it when raised scars heal the same skin color as the rest of the body. It makes the scar appear to be a relief against the skin, and when lit right, provides for some incredible photos.
If you’ve got some scars that you want to share for an upcoming Friday Follow-up, simply upload them to BME, and they’ll pop up here soon enough.

Congratulations Rolf!!!
Written by
This morning Guinness announced some new world record holders and among them was none other than Rolf Buchholz. Rolf now has the distinction of being the world record holder as The Most Pierced Man in the World. With a grand total of 453 piercings (278 of them being genital piercings), Rolf piercings are extensive and impressive. What the Guinness record people didn’t mention is that Rolf has been tracking all of his suspensions, and has taken a total of 998 hooks since his first suspension in 2004. Last month at the Oslo Suscon, Rolf marked his 100th suspension with a 100pt superman. Rolf is a wonderful member of the BME and Suspension communities and we at BME would like to congratulate Rolf on this distinct honor.

Superman never made any money

One of the best things about the suspension community is its global presence. All around the world people are able to suspend thanks to the hard work of suspension teams that are constantly in touch with each other, looking for ways to improve. These teams are made up of individuals that donate their time to facilitate suspensions for people. What makes these teams unique is that they don’t operate for profit. The money given to suspend is used entirely to pay for the materials used. It’s important to remember this whenever you see suspension photos like the ones below.
Teams like Skindependent Suspension from Christchurch, NZ are a shining example of how dedicated the individuals are. I met Eden and Krysten from Skindependent at Dallas Suscon earlier in the year. After surviving the devastating earthquake that struck Christchurch, the couple packed up their bags for a weekend on the other side of the world just to learn from other practitioners the world over. They paid for the trip themselves, and returned to New Zealand with knowledge that they passed onto their team. Since then, they’ve hosted “For the Love of Hooks“, the largest suspension event ever held in New Zealand, and they’ve started up “Sunday Sessions“, to allow anyone who wishes to suspend a place to do so every month.
So from now on, whenever you see photos of people suspending, remember that it’s not just the person in the air enjoying themselves, but also the facilitators. They don’t do it for money, they do it because they love suspension and they want to be able to give those people who want to suspend a safe and enjoyable experience.
You can see more photos from Skindependent Suspension events in their BME gallery.
