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.

    Jared sent in this wicked footage of Tracie (who seems mildly infatuated with her right boob and was formerly TracieHanna on IAM – More on ModBlog) completing a 27 hook, 18 transition suspension (!!) at the Chicago Tattoo Convention a week ago. Could it be a world record?

    The video (and some photos by Luke – Myspace) are after the break – Loads more appearing in the Nu Ethix Suspensions gallery on BME soon!

    This morning’s wake-up call comes courtesy of IAM: joao_caldara, who I swear to God cannot get out of bed without taking part in a beautifully photographed suspension. This one was done with the help of Valnei Santos of Outlaws Tattoo, and took place in Petropolis, RJ, Brazil. A few more photos after the jump.

    I’m sure you’re all familiar with João and his band of happy suspendees..

    Well, we’re adding another to that every growing list today! His name’s Fernando and he likes dogs (although the feeling doesn’t appear to be mutual), smoking and hanging out (sorry)..

    I am very, very happy to present this. For a few years (in no particular order), BME friend and contributor Ferg has been living and teaching in a remote Indigenous community in Australia, and recently took part in scarification ritual of which few, if any, Westerners have ever been a part.

    I toyed with the idea of putting some soothing music over this video of the lovely Dawn (I did lower the volume several decibels though, because I value your hearing) but I thought it would give you an idea of the noise, lights and general chaos suspendees “endure” in a nightclub setting..
