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.

Oh, yuck!

xTVRx was stretching his nipples using jewelry wrapped in PTFE tape and woke up in the morning with this terrible bubble of pus. Way too gross, so I put the picture after the break!!!

    Pretty much same happened to me too. I was using a barbell with 4mm balls, so the whole jewellery got inside the nipple. And it happened just in one night.

    I don’t understand the purpose of using PTFE tape to stretch. I have stretched my lobes to 2 gauge and my nipple to a 8, no tape was ever used and there was no infection. I have had both happily for more than a decade. Any PROFESSIONAL piercer should know that you DON’T use tape to increase the gauge. The tape has adhesive which is a foreign substance to your body, not to mention the other person’s body oils and whatever else sticks to the adhesive before administering; infection is inevitable.

    Hola!
    This modblog had more comments that other my modblogs, strange :O

    And yes, popped it was biiig ‘pleasure’ and gave me biiig relief, uh.

    I always using PTFE tape for stretching my holes, I never had problems with it, really. I stretched without any complications my double apadravya from 1.6 to 4 mm, double frenum from 1.6 to 4 mm, one septum from 1.6 to 3.2mm, two septums from 1.6 to 2.5mm and tongue from 1.6 to 7 mm, but I had only problems with both nipples, this one is right, but very similar infection was on left one.
    And yes, this shot was taken after night, only few hours after using PTFE tape.
    I have pierced nipples from 1998, ten whole years, now everything is all right, I have 3.2 CBR in each nipple and no more problems with it. I’m in this business from over ten years, I know a lot about bm, but I never seen something like this before on myself or clients/friends. I was very surprised that my nipples goes wrong, fortunately those infections was less then one week, I healed them with sea salt & salvia + mayweed.
    Thx for all comments and greetings for all volunteers for pop this :*

    ummm…i think our favorite comment was the person who said “Oh my fucking zombie christ on a pogo stick” cus that was pretty much our reaction to this shit….who the hell is stupid enough to use tape to gauge their piercings? does anyone have any idea how unsanitary that is? Your body is programmed to react to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that is not you…external use only guys…derrr da derrrr

    Omg…I want to see that sucker pop…what a weird fascination. I’m obviously no the only one who likes popping puss bubbles. I used this kind of tape once on my ears and I thought they were gonna rot off. I lost like 3 sizes and was pissed. NEVER use this tape.

    I’d hate to have that happen, but it looks so temptingly deliciously awesome to squeeze the puss out of….just saying what everyone is thinking but not saying, you know. You know you’re all thinking that inside. You know you are.
