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.

Piercing-related Injuries

Ouch! This is the result of falling down the stairs and smashing up nostril jewelry… The client headed in to the very talented Steve Truitt in New Mexico to get it extracted. I’ll mention by the way that he’s working in Edmonton for a little while, so if you’re looking to get something out of the ordinary done and you’re in the area, drop him a line.

Well, that’s it for today. Because I skipped yesterday I wanted to get lots posted here today, and early too! See you all tomorrow.
