BME: Body Modification Ezine

A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

Celebrating body modification culture since 1994.

    Birgit from Paris, France, is into very heavy play! Remember kids, just like smoking pot leads to smoking crack, play piercing leads to S&M. Well, even if the first is false, I’m sure there’s truth to the latter…

    Håvve Fjell (featured in the video) adds this..

    “I should mention that Pain Solution has been granted funding from the Norwegian Cultural Council to produce a play combining classic sideshow and self-torture for the theatre scene. My aim is to strengthen the genre I work with in the cultural landscape, bringing it up and out from the underground. Freak show for the people!

    Also, I have started a Fakir school in order to educate the next generation, and shape artists I can work with in the future.”
