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.

Walk Beside Me and Be My Friend


Well-lit photo? Check. Interesting, healthy looking, well-placed piercings? Check. Hmm … so, what is the small faction of perpetual ModBlog nay-sayers going to complain about? I’m betting it’ll be critiques of the wallpaper or assertions that Syl20‘s bald head is clearly indicative of a deep-seated prejudice against the hirsute or something equally ridiculous and inane. Don’t let me down!

    IAMSyl20,
    It’s a great picture but I think “turkeylurkey” was joking. I believe it’s a comment to point out how it’s really hard to pick things out about this picture that aren’t great.
    Cause it’s great.

    The septum piercing looks awesome on him; I also love the weird piercing near his ear. It almost looks like it goes under a tendon or something….. Intriguing….

    I want to see more of that tattooed head of his as determine if those are all microdermals below his ear. I am almost sure they are, but the way his neck is turned is trying to tell my mind differently. Either way, great look.

    I think that all of his mods, save for his lobes, are exquisite. However, I guess he really didn’t take care of the suckers while stretching; they’re thin and VERY unhappy looking! 🙁

    But otherwise, I really do think his mods suit him, in a slightly demonic way 😉

    I’ll plug myself here and say that I’m the one who did his horns! Sylvain is an awesome customer, very smart and that puts a lot of research into his planned mods, it will soon be the time fo his 2nd generation of horns and I’m really looking forward to that!

    Jordan’s attempt at humour = fail. Why be bitter, just ignore the trolls (this is the internet, they’re everywhere, get used to it!!!) and also accept that sometimes the ‘negative’ comments also have their points. I am disappointed you put that blurb on one of the rare truly beautiful portraits of an attractively modded man and spoilt the otherwise good vibe. I find it ironic the only negative comments on this thread have been about your comment about people being negative???!!! Let it go………

    STUNNING septum there, and I have the same helix piercing with a spike, so obviously perfect taste 😉

    Writting a second time, I hope I won’t be considered consided and around myself but I’m just very happy about all those comments good or bad, because, sometimes, bad critics could be the start of a new point of view that we might never had about ourself, well, I try to see a happy ending to all this wave of comments, This motivates me to be all I can be, regardless of obstacles that life will try to throw at me, IAMSyl20
