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.

“I guess it is possible after all”

I’ve been working on software today, so there hasn’t been time to write, but I wanted to show you this — Pauly Unstoppable reaches 1 1/2″ nostrils! Biggest stretched nostrils I’ve seen yet. It’s pretty intense… you can see the inside of his head!

    I have to say that these are far beyond what I’d consider “to my tastes” howeve, the time, effort and determination he must have gone to, deserves so much respect.

    And even the day to day living with that sort of mod, very out there and “in your face” so must take some real personality to carry that off. Well done. I’m even left wondeing “Will he stop at 1 1/2″ “

    Pauly,

    Fantastic!!! I know it’s not a contest, but you are aproaching the worlds largest nostrils… As we have discussed before, only a few Apatani have nostrils this big and only a very few have ever had nostrils bigger (about 2 inches tops).

    Your nostrils look great… I ‘d love to see what they look like with both plugs removed… I’m sure that would be a thing of beauty!

    I’ve noticed that you have pierced you lower lip very low, leaving lots of healthy “lip loop” for great stretching possibilities. Are you considering a larger lip plug… maybe even a lip disk… or maybe even TWO?! You would look GREAT!!!

    As far as an upper lip disk is concerned, you may have to wear a disk that is concave on the top or is simply a large rimmed ring to accomodate your nostril plugs.

    A five to six inch lower lip disk complimented by a three to four inch upper lip disk would be stunning. As far as I know, no one in the west has ever attempted tribal mods such as these.

    Keep up the great work as you redefine beauty in the western world!
