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.

Those are some hard nipples!

Paired 14ga Industrial Strength surface anchors done to accentuate a tattoo’s nipples, two days old, by Josh Prentice at Virtue and Vice in Atlanta, GA.

    Judging by the nipple in the bottom left corner, I’d say yep.

    Those are awefully small anchors.. i’m surprised that with just a bit of movement they don’t slip right into the skin… they look like they don’t have a “cap” on them large enough to prevent that from happening. Its very flush, so i’m imagining just pinching the skin around it and them disappearing??

    Maybe I’m just lookin at them wrong or the picture is weird in some way.. i dunno… i’m just wondering?

    I think it’s really cool. I like the fact that we (those of us into modifications) can come up with ideas and actually seem them brought to life.
