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 things we do for beauty”

Pauly just had Howie (LunaCobra) increase the size of his forehead implant — which of course you can’t see at all right now because his face is so swollen from the abuse (note: this is not unusual)… Either that or Ken Shamrock started getting piercings and tattoos and decided to spend some more time with Tito in the octagon…

    Ya know, Pauly demonstrates what body modification is all about: creating our own bodies in the image of what we find beautiful (or cool :P). And so when people decide, in all lameness, to disrespect another human being over the internet over THEIR personal choices, it’s not fucking cool. What gives you the right to do so, 26, 30, and 41? It’s his life, his face, and his choice, so bugger off.
