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.

    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.
