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.

    The one on the right looks like it has some signficant raised scarring as well.

    I want collarbone surface piercings, but my piercer said that she doubts I’d be able to heal them. Sure are pretty though.

    i’d really like to see a pair of these heal. I had a set of four that ultimately rejected after a couple months, and i’ve noticed a couple others have the same problem. One of these day’s i’ll get mine redone, but all props and best of luck to her.

    I have had mine for around 9 months, and no issues yet. A few peircers have told me they have never seen them heal as well as mine, guess I am the lucky one.

    Some get lucky, others don’t…I hope she’ll get lucky but I don’t think she will, seeing how her body already rejected this kind of stuff once.

    “HOOT”, did you use a regular needle procedure or a punch and taper. I’m wondering if that has anything to do with it’s outcome.

    but someone once told me you have to
    get them surgically removed;;true?

    no, you wouldn’t have to get them surgically removed unless there were some major complications. They’re surface bars and not anchors, so it’s just a matter of pulling the bars out.
