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.

  • Monsters of Schlock needs YOU!

    21 time Guinness World Record Breaking freakshow and body modification enthusiasts the Monsters of Schlock need your help in reaching their crowdfunding goal of making their sitcom pilot into a TV series!

    The great Orbax, longtime BME contributor and emcee of the Toronto BMEFests, along with his brother Sweet Pepper Klopek the barb-wire bat wielding lead singer of the BMEFest fan favourite the Legendary Klopeks, have been traveling the world for the last ten years with their comedy freakshow. They’ve achieved some amazing feats in that time such as Sweet Pepper’s Guinness Record for the most mousetraps released on a tongue in one minute (https://youtu.be/64L5Vz5AaUc) and Orbax’s record for towing a 9000 lb truck for 111.7 metres using two shark hooks in his back (https://youtu.be/USgV62alu1U).

    Last year they shot a sitcom pilot, entirely funded and produced on their own. You can see it on YouTube (https://youtu.be/GXslnT8HUZk) or watch it below. The concept is Flight of the Conchords meets Super Dave Osborne, but with a freakshow twist.

    Their Kickstarter has rewards ranging anywhere from buying the DVD’s to getting your own personalized stunt, to having them show up at your house and do their live freakshow!

    The only way the TV series is going to happen is if they can raise the money to pay for production, and that means that the only way you’ll get to see it is by pledging. Head over and help them out (http://kck.st/1F9O4Ut).

    This artistic shot of a corset piercing was sent in by AlyssaChartrand.  I like the old time feel of the photo contrasted with the tattoos and corset piercing.  No information on artists or the photographer was given when the photo was submitted.

  • Held by Hooks, and Each Other
    by Jonathon
    Facilitators and practitioners — the very people who bring so many suspensions to life — often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities.

For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized.

    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
