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.

  • Traditional “Play” Piercing

    Ritual, not play, as photographed by Arco at last October’s vegetarian rituals in Phuket, Thailand. Lots more photos from him and others in the cultural rituals gallery on BME.

  • Another beautiful suspension location

    Herrich, Fousage, and Shemon from Hell.cz in Prague (“personality tuning and body modification”) did these beautiful suspensions on a hill overlooking Czech farmland to celebrate the end of summer (2007). More photos after the break, and if you’re wondering what’s in the last photo, they’re inserting PTFE through the suspension piercings in order to retain them afterwards.

  • Ocean View Suspension

    Banana (of Extigma in Copiapo, Chile) sent in this great shot of a four-point lotus suspension off an old iron bridge in Caldera overlooking the ocean, a beautiful location that reminded me of the Navio Mara suspension posted earlier this month. Nice backpiece also!

  • “Dirty Touching Man”

    I’m sure his intentions were honourable, Jessica.

  • Self-Cutting Meets Self-Scarification

    So my first thought was, “wow, that’s a really great quality skin removal given that it’s DIY with a Swiss Army knife”… My second thought was, “YOU’RE CUTTING TOO DEEP! YOU’RE CUTTING TOO DEEP!”
