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.

Going, Going, Gone!

    I had one rejected, as well. I had it done one day and the next morning it looked like i had a grape under my skin. My boyfriends mother took it out with pliers and it bled everywhere. I was really sad but I wont try it again

    very interesting. I found this article when I was browsing the archive of “microdermals” as my research because I am interested in getting one myself. I looked through several portfolio’s, and mentally sorted out a numbered list. Six from Exotix (http://www.sixbodyart.com/index2.html) was #1 on my list. Anyway, what was a really interesting coincidence, is that this MD was actually pierced by Six. The same picture, without the rejection aftermath, is also in this portfolio website. According to his website, the “perfection” shot was taken 6 months after the procedure.

    My question is, if it was fine for the first 6 months, what could’ve triggered this rejection?

    I’m curious, because like I said, I’m interested in getting a MD myself but not that same location.
