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.

    Doubleyou the holy eff. That is what I think of when I think ‘body modification’. I look forward to the day when healing huge chunks of metal is easy and actual cyborg-hood is a reality. None of this namby pamby piercing rubbish.

    I’ve met Baawo, the guy getting his head nailed, you can’t understand a word he says =( It’s terrible – you feel so rude just staring at him blankly when he speaks to you. Sometimes it’s okay, but other times it takes like 5 minutes of repeating to understand. Other than that he seems nice enough.

    Oh it’s cos they are from Finland, hence the thick Finnish accents and no understanding.

    spirited-away: I’m glad you explained why he was hard to understand, because for a minute I was like, “What, does he talk like a robot or something?” and then I tried to imagine what that would be like. Now it all makes sense…

    I’m going to say one thing to you all, “getting my head pierced with a full metal mohawk was the most liberating thing I have ever done, the only way to go when your hair has already gone:)
    May the road rise with you all
