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.

Bike Versus SUV

And the doctors even took out his apadravya piercing while he was unconscious. Seriously, I think doctors have a thing with messing with people’s genitals while they’re out… A friend of mine just had lung surgery and when he came to, he discovered that he had a smiley face drawn on his the head of his cock, as if it had been used as a puppet. He confronted the doctors about it and they were embarassed and apologized for not cleaning it off, and said that it was quite normal because “it helped make things less boring”.

I’m not sure if that’s really creepy or sort of funny.

    What about the possibility of using retainers or PTFE barbells in place of metal? Would they still be required to be removed? I don’t even enjoy changing the jewellery in my apadravya, let alone taking it out and having to re-heal it again.

    I would be pissed as hell if I awoke missing my apadravya, or with a smiley face on my penis!

    I wonder what else they do while your under to make things ‘more interesting’.

    if the smiley were on his fingers, chest, or even his forehead, i’d just laugh. but because it was on his penis, i find it creepy. it’s unnecessary to mess with someone’s genitals.

    I don’t really think I’d care if some doctor drew a smiley face on my penis, actually… it’s deserving of some decoration. 🙂

    The smiley face thing is really creepy.

    I always thought nurses & doctors checked EVERYTHING out.

    i don’t mind taking out my jewellery or replacing it with acrylic/ptfe before surgery, as i have always been told the defribillator (sp?) possibility as a reason.

    but i would be VERY pissed off to know that they’d been touching parts of my body that they didn’t need to, let alone drawing on it. that is very fucking NOT ON. especially the genitals

    I don’t know about America, but if that happened in the UK, I think you’d have a very good case to take action under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights – prohibition of inhuman or degrading treatment. And certainly some assault charges.

    It’s not funny at all, it’s really shocking.

    When I had my wisdom teeth out, the oral surgeon flat-out refused to do anything with jewelry or retainers in. Some ridiculous notions about aspiration and metal. He was very insistant about removing even my ear piercings, but luckily I convinced him they were permanent, and he was running out of time so as not to press that issue as hard.

    When I had my wisdom teeth removed they let me wear all my jewelry, including my septum ring. They didn’t want me to lose the piercings and wanted me to do what I felt was most comfortable for me.

    Anyway, I would be extremely pissed off if someone removed my jewelry without my consent. And I’m not too keen on the idea of doctors looking at my genitals without a good reason. My aunt’s friend is a nurse and she said that they look at everything when people are in surgery.
