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.

The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Webbed Toe Piercings

I don’t know if it moves me into an exploitative way of thinking, but I really enjoy seeing a combination of developmental abnormalities and body modification. This is a simple example on Scarlet, a pair of piercings between fused toes, done by IAM:PiercedPirate (Zak at Tattoos Unlimited in Morehead, KY). It’s still healing in the photo here but he tells me they’re doing fine now.

    I wonder how common that abnormality is. The same two toes on my feet are fused similar to that, but not quite so far up.

    I’ve seen it pierced a few times, although I’ve never seen it in person.

    A friend of mine has 5 nipples (3 of them “normal” and two of them pretty small, sadly he’s not into mods, they’d look great pierced.

    id like to see a picture of them.. NOW.. healed..

    how would a person heal something like that? I would think it would be especially hard to heal a piercing on your FOOT..

    I plan on getting a healed picture as soon as I see Scarlet again. She healed it by not wearing shoes as often as possible, covering it with syran wrap before she put her socks on, sea salt soaks, and dirty talk. We placed the rings so they wouldn’t touch the ground when she walks on them, so I’m sure that helps too. Surprisingly, I guess, these aren’t the first fused toes I’ve pierced. There was another set I did over last summer, but the jewelry kept falling out, so they were aborted before they could heal up.

    I have a webbed toe that I pireced myself 8 years ago. It really was a pain to heal, especially in winter. I limped for a while, but now it’s great.
    I reccomend taking the ball out of the cbr and closing the ring after losing many balls it was the only way.

    Is it just me or is there mold at the top off the Piercings? (its is greenish).

    I like this! Maybe she thinks shes making something that is ugly pretty or maybe she is proud of her uniqeness.

    Yes, there are a couple other entries here with barbells… Try browsing through the body piercing entries. Most of the are done that way, and I suspect that if either of them is “easier” to heal (this isn’t an “easy” piercing to heal I think), it’s going to be with a bar I believe.
