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?

    To each their own, I says. I’ve seen a pierced just-about-everything, but this one is original. Sure, there are practicality issues, but I’m sure that’s not really the point of this. And there are at least a few vaild points made along the way. Certainly, air travel with such decorations in would likely be a big no-go, but since they are removable, it’s not really a problem.
    Sure, there wouldn’t be too many places something like that would be appropriate in the professional world, save a shop specializing in such modifications, or the like, but again, this strays from the actual point, which I state again: to each their own.
    If you like it, great, enjoy. If you don’t, well, now you have seen something else not to ever do. There’s no use in hating what this guy’s done because you wouldn’t do it, nor pointing out all the complications associated with such a modification. Just take a look, and then go on with your daily life.

    I like them because he got them to be silly. I’m sure he went potty before getting them. As far as what statement he’s making? He’s saying, “Check it out, I got claws..”

    I never have seen three pieces of metal make anyone so mad. I have no tat’s and only standard ear piercings (lobes and cartilige). He did domething that was original and cool. Besides, it got ALL of you talking about it and right now he is the 3rd most commented on picture on this SITE. I think he accomplished setting himself apart IF that was even his goal, and I’ll bet it wasn’t.

    As for all you “haters”, You are what’s wrong in the world. Judge me not by the color of my skin (and whatever I decide to put in it). Relax and remember, ever

    Freakboy, right on.

    Ignoring all the annoying comments I actually have a question regarding this.
    Aren’t they just normal surface piercings there, that (for the moment) have longer jewelry inserted (probably as a joke).
    Basically what I’m trying to ask is if these normally have regular barbells through the piercings, and he just throw these in “for the hell of it” (Obviously keeping these in 24/7 would cause an issue).

    I’m with Stephy. Are these surface piercings he usually has in and just did this for the shot?

    and to everyone else outthere hating on this kid- stfu. people in the modified culture can put 100 holes in their body for 10 minutes, take some photos, and take ‘em out if they feel like it. no need to rip this guy [and his awesome work] apart. Props to shannon for posting stuff like– i wish i could see after shots when he took them out– again, if they aren’t normal surface piercings that he usually wears short bars in.

    if this kid posts anymore stuff you should put it up shan 🙂

    Dude, your peircings are the shit!
    I don’t understand why people are bitching at you, they think cause you have a cool, and lets admit it, a pretty one of a kind peircing, that it means you’re some sort of irresponsible psycopath. But the think is, you can clearly remove that whenever you want, meanwhile I know retards that get band names and lovers names tattoed on their left teat all the damn time. You can’t get rid of that shit. If x-men EVER (god forbid) becomes uncool in your lifetime, you can remove the peircing.

    Anyways, on a final note.

    Eh. People taking this way too seriously…THIS is the freakiest thing you n00bs have seen on the “interweb”? Go back to AOL, kiddies.

    He’s got three holes in the top layer of skin in his hand. Big deal. The metal is in there temporarily, and the part the claws are screwed onto is pretty thin, which means the holes can go away if he wants them to, and he’s doing this for the hell of it, not as a permanent way of life. I’ve seen little old ladies with earlobe piercings all unintentionally stretched into long slits by too-heavy earrings. The holes in their ears are much bigger and more permanent than what he’s got. Get a grip.

    Ahhhhhahahahaha. I guess you love it or hate it, no in betweens. I agree with spongefile, you guys take this wayyyy too serious. Remember kiddies, no one is suggesting you do this. We’re not holding you down, and forcing TEMPORARY claws into the back of each hand. He wanted to do it so he did. You guys can’t tell me you’ve never done something merely because you wanted to.

    I have to admit, my first glimpse of this mod made me laugh. The sheer excess of those piercings is comical to me. There is no doubt that the claws look nifty as hell though. The comments on this subject are just as entertaining. On one side you have the idiot masses spouting negativity as if they were expecting everyone else to agree, and then on the other side you have the modder’s society mooing about misunderstood artforms and intellectual purity. My opinion is that the depicted mod is nifty. That being said, I don’t think something is art just because it hasn’t been done before. Creativity and originality aren’t the same thing. Freakboy wasn’t claiming it was art, it was just something fun and interesting to do that he knew would get a mixed reaction. Sure, maybe most modders don’t ‘mod’ for attention. ‘Kay, but most modders don’t have a picture posted on the web with the caption, “Wolverine, or Freakboy?” I have seen a lot of tats and piercings that I would have no problem identifying with art, but stuff like this is only done for self gratifying shock value. I’m not judging the lifestyle, just the kind of thought process it takes to do something this mainstream specific. Anyway, my yahoo IM is seventhsoulfate, so if you disagree with me and wanna shout about it, you can do it live.

    Freakboy, art or not, your claws are nifty. Wish you the best.

    Its surprising that so many people even care to post a comment. None of anything that was discussed or done pertaining to this topic matters. we will all be dead before one knows it, so why bother worrying about what someone else does. plus what is the point of defending someone you dont even know?
