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.

    Love the shape of the plugs in the first picture but isn’t it risky to have plugs that aren’t round?

    Wow. Beautiful pics. I love them all. I also especially love seeing modified people with dogs. Im a huge dog lover and my dogs mean the world to me.

    I also really love the 4g septum pincher. Im looking for one thats a small emough diameter for my face but all the ones I find would hang down to my bottom lip 🙁 I know there are tight 4g pinchers out there somewhere. If I dont find one I might have to try and make one or maybe find someone to custom make one.

    Woh. I took the first picture of Bena, so I was quite surprised/chocked to see it here.
    But it’s fun, of course.
