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.

Nice Play Piercing Photo

Thanks to cute little Icelandic elf IAM:XunsaneX for this great shot of her taking over seventy needles from Max Brand at All or Nothing Tattoo in Smyrna, Georgia. Seriously, I am so enamored with Iceland and Icelandic culture in general, and that statement is even more true after writing this entry (it’s a little country — I can draw statistical interpretations from a single person, right?).

    Same country that produced Bjork. They must cultivate eccentricity.

    You mentioning how much you like Iceland reminded me of a Prof I had at my brief stint at the University of Calgary. http://www.wilholden.com Wil Holden is a KOOK, and if you read his ‘favorite things’, one of them is Iceland (among other hilarious things)

    Iceland has the highest ration of beautiful women to ANYTHING EVER out of all the countries on God’sGreenEarth™.

    The ugliest woman in Iceland won Miss World last year. Seriously.

    I like how you trademarked “God’sGreenEarth.”

    Iceland may have the world’s most beautiful women, but they also have one of the world’s lowest amounts of genetic diversity within the population. Most everyone is quite related to one another.

    I’m from Iceland and yes, it’s true that we’re quite related to each other.
    We have a website where we can type names, and search the website to see if we’re related to that person….I think I’ve never failed to find a relation…altough sometimes a really small one, like 9 cousins apart….
