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.

Implants for Pacifists?

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I think these may be some of the first finger implants I’ve seen (not including transdermals and finger dermal anchors). They’re 6mm and 8mm pieces on Nobnig (who has quite a bit of heavy work), done by Samppa Von Cyborg (MadMax Tattoo). I think the photos are by Al Overdrive but I apologize if I got that wrong.

PS. If you’re wondering about the title, it’s because as long as those implants are there, punching someone is going to really suck for both people! “This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you!”

    I was about to mention iam: station’s implant as well. He’s had it healed longer than I’ve known him, which is a good chunk of time.
