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 grossest picture I’ll ever post?

This horrific ear cheese build up is from a customer of James Wisiewski at Body Electric in Hollywood, CA that really needs to pay a little more attention to cleanliness. Seriously, this is the most vomit-inducing picture I think I’ve posted. So gross.

    They should scrape that off onto some bread and hold bets to see how much people would pay to see someone eat it.

    obviously the person who did would have to have no sense of smell/taste…

    I’ve never smelled ear cheese, and that’s just a photo, so meh. Doesn’t really do much to me. I don’t know if that makes me a freak after reading the comments. I seem to be one of the rare exceptions 😛 And I’m not a hunter nor do I work in a hospital cleaning wounds and shit. I get why they’d be a little less sick at this haha.

    This is NASTY. I have read about the smell of ear smeg. So one day when I popped out my plugs to clean them I decided to take a sniff. It was vile. So I can only imagine how much worse these smelled. I don’t clean my ears daily, but damn! How the hell can anyone let their ears get that smegy.

  27. fyrespritetryst Avatar
