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.

Soft Palette Piercing (Sort Of)

We got this neat picture from Maddalena from Naples — she has a natural hole in her soft palette and decided it might be better with jewelry.

    Closing that ring must have been a bitch.

    Probably not worse than closing a ring on a uvula piercing. Things like this are always cool to see.

    IG – I don’t have any feeling in my uvula; my gag reflex is higher in that surrounding tissue… I guess it’s different for everyone.

    I think this would be a really annoying piercing to have. I would constantly be wanting to swallow whatever was stuck at the back of my throat.

    Might be like me and have pretty much no gag reflex at all…

    Kinda strange and dangerous really if you think about it, but I sure as hell can’t help it!
