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.

Wolverine or Freakboy?

    no ink..what the hell are you on about now?

    you don’t seem to respond to any comeback from me that points our the blatant flaws in any of your posts.

    and what has any of your posts so far got to do with the way people are responding to the initial post of the pierced knuckles?

    and why the whole ‘gay’ thing. that’s just bizarre. i can’t see why his sexuality has got anything to do with this at all.

    anyway, i take it from your posts that you are actually siding with the majority of posters here, who are neither literate, or intelligent. what a bizarre decision on your part.

    The man is making a statement about society.

    Unfortunately, the statement is obviously, “Hey, guys! Lookit me! C’mon! Lookit me! Hey, wouldja lookit me! Lookit me, already! Aren’t I cool? Huh? Huh? Why don’t you lookit me? Hey! You! Look! I’m real cool!”

    After reading more of the other posts:

    1) I’m not angry or upset with this guy any more than I am with the nut who stands on the corner downtown shouting about Jesus or the evils of paintball for minors. My first reaction was pity for him. As for why I posted, read the link I included, especially the part of people seeing themselves as others understand them. I doubt few outside the bod mod culture would consider this “cutting edge.”

    2) On Aleph’s argument: “And for those who wonder, being cool doesn’t mean waiting for mainstream TV and brands to follow a trend before going for it.”

    Uh, piercing and tattoos are mainstream TV and in brand-name advertising – MTV has long been mainstream tv and absorbed that trend a long time ago and passed it on to frat boys who will go into corporate culture hiding their markings or having them surgicaly altered. This picture doesn’t show that excessive body modifications are cutting edge but that they have jumped the shark. When someone asks me 5-10 years from now what point I knew that the fad was over, I’ll recall this picture.

    3) MyDecay: you mis-quoted Bob Dylan; it’s “and don’t criticize what you can’t understand.” I think a lot of people who are criticizing this guy understand his motivations for attention.

    i don’t understand why everyone always blames our motives for being body modification on wanting attention

    is it so hard to grasp we just like it, think its beautiful, and it makes us feel good

    to be perfectly honest most of us hate attention but have to deal with in on a daily basis because we aren’t naive and realize that its different and there is going to be ignorant people such as most of the above that are going to stare point and criticize our decision

    i think you misinterpret this blog……its for people that love body modification….and we don’t chose to be put on it…..shannon choses the content……we cant even submit pictures directly to it…….so i really don’t know how that makes this guy hungry for attention

    this blog is for people with the same love to share in some things that alot of us might find interesting to share comments and pictures and so on

    yet its been invaded by people that understand nor appreciate the art and the motivation and come here merely to look cool to the rest of them by calling people they don’t know fags and telling them they should kill themselves…..and thats not being attention whore

    if you want to be ignorant an judgement whatever you do have that right…….but go take it back to your KKK rally where it belongs

    Sorry, Pauly.. I equate intellegence with vocabulary and grammer. I get the content of what you say, and that doesn’t work for me either. If you want to ‘modify’ yourself, just do it, don’t try to justify it. You don’t need anyone’s approval…do you?

    i don’t need your approval at all i don’t care what you think of me

    and i honestly don’t remember anyone saying that wanted anyones approval or really cared what anyone thought of them

    i don’t care if people like what i do, or like me for that matter they can hate me and want me to die and ill still do what i do obviously, i just laugh at you guys

    you are just annoying

    i just think its sad all you can do is pass judgement on people
    hidden behind a computer…..and the only real argument you can give is someones grammar and spelling are abit off

    whether i care what you say or not doesn’t over look common decency which none of you have

    i don’t go to message boards of people i don’t know and start calling them names and telling them to kill themselves

    sorry if i expect more out of the population then what you people are showing

    Why do people get body piercings, tatooes and body modifications?

    Some just wanna jump on the band wagon – baaah!
    Other are insecure and use the above as a means to seek attention.
    Others still are making an artistical statement – shame none of them can differentiate between art and shit!

    All of them have one thing in commom…They don’t think of any of the side effects be it immediate or long term, probably because their brain capacity does not allow them to.

    Having said that: Keep up the good work and give us all some more to laugh about!

    Peace.

    you feel you have to protect Freakboy and defend his actions? Sounds like you don’t want him to get his feelings hurt. You’re not his daddy.. let him fight his own battles.

    It sounds like you are very sensitive to critisism and have been hurt by others, probably parents. (?)
