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.

They pierce dogs in Hungary?

…or is it a gag photo? You decide.

“Hi. My name is Bea. I’m Sanjin’s dog, and I also have a piercing. I had it done one year ago and I’m very happy with it!”

    I don’t think a dog would be very happy with a septum.

    Posted on 12-04-2005 02:43:36 by joshua
    or at least a ring through a septum.

    yeah, i’m not happy with my septum at all. I’ll have it removed surgically.

    Haha, good correction 😀 I should have said septum piercing.

    i really hope its a gag

    The ring looks very thick. If it’s real it must have hurt a lot.

    Posted on 12-05-2005 00:50:41 by SavageGypsy
    I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s real. If they crop their dogs ears, what more is it to put a ring through his/her septum

    Posted on 12-05-2005 01:53:12 by Twitch
    If it’s real, how did they keep the dog from ripping it out? Even after it healed, you’d think it would bother the dog enough to try and get it out.

    Posted on 12-05-2005 13:36:29 by Micrurus
    I’m not a fan of cropped ears either but after that the dog has no more problems with that, but a septum piercing is a constant irritation for an animal whose acutest sense is smell (specially with a ring so big)

    Posted on 12-07-2005 12:03:13 by Halo
    I think it’s a fake. The ring’s way too big, and on the left side of the image (right side of the dog, for those who prefer to be correct), the ring doesn’t even look like it’s attached.

    Dude, I know that looks sick, but my Mom’s dog just totally chewed it’s own tail off.

    They do this to bulls; I would still say this could count as animal cruelty in some countries.

    Posted on 12-27-2005 13:56:37 by Mandee
    thats just grosse and ignorant 🙁
    People have different opinions but the dog cant speak. Plus its dangerous..what if he gets it caught of something and tears it out 🙁

    it should not be done to bulls either!! People make me sick, you cant be happy enough with your animals companionship, that you mutulate them with peircings and tattoos. Its so rediculous,and cruel. Any one who does this should have there pets removed from them, and they obviously dont love there pets. They are not toys, and ear and tail cropping is also cruel, saying that happens doesnt make it ok!!!
