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.

    Check out this soon to be semi-permanent corset by Chris Saint.  Now before you get all mad because it’s not perfectly symmetrical, he did that on purpose so when it comes time to string it up, it’ll be aligned with the curves of her body.

    In the words of the great Nigel Tufnel, “Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it?”

    Judging by the amount of artillery this guy is packing, it’s pretty obvious Michael Kozlenko intended him to go to eleven.

    And here’s a look at the sides of this piece:

    Not because something is dying, but because there was a whole lot of burnt flesh lying around after this branding.  Here’s what Brian had to say..

    3 hour branding session on my buddy Joe, the toughest person I know. Who else can have full conversations and text message while getting drawn on with electricity without flinching? Having to continually stop to clean ink and blood off the ESU tip was the only thing that slowed me down. Thanks to Lalo Yunda for help with the drawing.

    IAM: Spiritual_Paladin had his ears cropped yesterday, resulting in a pretty unique look.  Unfortunately he didn’t include who the artist was, so hopefully he’ll comment so I can give proper credit.

    To see more photos of his ears, including the other side, head on over to the cartilage removal and reshaping gallery.

    Frida Freak to be specific.  From what I gather she’s a musician, writer, artist, and performer from Russia, and she’s nice enough to contribute some photos to BME.
