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.

More Human Than Human

Lukas Zpira (Body-Art.net) recently did these amazing 14mm deep chest piercings (see more deep chest piercings on BME as well). These are (of course) on Lucky Diamond Rich, who has worked with Lukas before on projects like this.

    That’s awesome. Just the other day I was wondering how the scars on Lou’s face turned out. They look great.

    I’m impressed if something like that can heal. I’m not sure if I like them, but I do like the way it looks like it has rays of light coming out of the top.

    What kind of jewelry is that? I don’t understand how they’d stay in while sleeping/moving about.

    This guy scares me , he pushes the boundaries that bit too far. Good luck with getting them to heal.

    PiercedPirate: looks to me like O-rings at the top of the jewellery to keep em from sliding down, could be wrong though.
    im hopefully getting a piercing or maybe a subdermal from lukas zpira when he visits lyon. Cant wait, only found out tonight that he will be here 😀 😀

    I’ve seen massive piercings like that before on Casper, which were done by Lukas. After a couple of years they kind-of healed, before he lost them in the ocean. Takes a fucken long time…

    Something about his facial features there that almost look alien. But that’s still a good picture. The deep chest piercings give me shivers whenever I look at them.

    how can someone push the boundaries too far? what are the boundaries for that matter? and who dictates them? lucky diamond was one of the first people to inspire me to get mods. heavy blackwork for the win. oh, and his plugs are awesome 🙂

    Flamingfist,
    Im happy lucky diamond was a mentor for you.

    Its not appropriate for me to post the reasons here why some type of mods scare the hell out of me.

    Everyone has boundaries that are internal to themselves, can you not think of one thing in life you simply would not do?

    Maybe your boundary would be if I asked you to jump into shark infested waters, or take a nice swim with pyrhanas?

    I live on the edge and do things other people say im crazy for doing.

    I didnt mean what I posted in any kinda way to offend people, sorry if you took it that way.

    Have a good one hugz 🙂
