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.

Impressive, but not a world record I think?

I don’t think it’s a “most piercings” record, but if all of these rings — there are six hundred and six 18ga half-inch piercings here — are gold, it may well be the highest dollar value of body piercings installed in under eight hours. The piercings were done by Rhian from Level 5 in Sarasota, Florida.

    I do not see the point. They wont heal and he now has 600 holes in his tattoos.

    Hmnn… he looks like a cross of a fruity xmas tree, chain-mail and crap. Just my thought, as play piercings they are kinda cool – but I think he should have used the grid he drew and do something less random with them.

    my 2c.

    Uh, why shouldn’t he put them wherever the fuck he feels like?

    Posted on 01-26-2006 03:40:07 by joe
    It would actually be 1200 holes.

    They dont overly look like they’re organised and look everywheres but thats okay. If thats what he wanted, then thats okay!:) who knows. maybe he wanted holes in his tattoos, you never know!

    its still only 600 holes, cause its still one hole even though it has two “openings”

    i see no aesthetic value, he should had some sort of organization to it.

    oh well, its not my skin.

    theres a reason why they call it play piercing. Its meant to be taken out.
