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.

    33: Yeah, I was a bit dubious about that guy claiming he had rotting teeth because his large gauge tongue jewellery restricted his tongue movement. How could you possibly know that was the reason? Seems likelier to me he just didn’t have great dental hygiene.

    Not something I’d ever do (my tounge’s at a measly 3.2mm and that’s where I’m staying for the now!), or even particularly like an awful lot, but I gotta admit that’s daaammmmmmn impressive! (And each to their own, right?)
    Eating, talking.. I should imagine he’d/you’d get used to it over time, right? Not like it magically appears at that size overnight!
    As for taste, I can’t imagine it affecting it THAT much, cos the tounge is stretched – nothing is actually taken away from the tounge – it’s just shifted around and sqaushed a bit…

    Yes, time is all it takes.

    People should read other comments more or at least do a quick search.

    So I just started stretching my tongue, I moved up to a 6 gauge tonight. I know I have a long way to go before I need to know but when the time comes what kind of plugs do you use and where do you get them? I am inspired by your tongue even though my employer might not like me doing the same thing as you…I’m going for it! Thanks!
