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 Color of Their Eyes Matches the Color of Our Blood


Good morning, ModBloggers! Hope the day finds you well. Let’s kick off the week with this fine ear project all the way from Kunming, Yunnan, China. I initially assumed the screws in the cartilage were some sort of custom jewelry, but, as the post-jump photo will show, those are some real screws. Probably not terribly comfortable for long-term wear, but if the structural integrity of your ear has been compromised? Can’t be too careful. Or something.

    There is 300 grade stainless hardware, a little higher nickel content than 316, but probably as good as anything at Hot Topic. And as someone else stated those screws could have a smooth shoulder, or could be wrapped with a little plumber’s tape.

    All of you guys who are saying “could be some high grade steel, could be they’re wrapped in PTFE tape” didn’t notice the text that says they’re from China. Good luck finding a nice hardware store with everything sorted in little drawers there =P Hopefully the person is just wearing this temporarily for the photo shoot.

    I find the entire ear sexy as can be and the bolts stunningly beautiful. Oh, wow! And it is not often a pic takes my breath away, but this one does.
