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.

No pain, no party

Whether it’s by an accidentaly injury or an intentional cutting or play piercing, I love the look and feel of blood running down my forearms (photo: pinhead-jr). Note to self: Don’t become a serial killer, you’d enjoy it too much and get messy.
