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.

Rejecting pocketings

They look great, but unfortunately they’re not lasting… Pockets and staples are a difficult mod to get to settle nicely (especially in that placement). These were done by Dan at Divinity Tattoo in Scottsdale, Arizona.

    That does look like a really difficult placement to heal, but I agree with the undies comment above. At least cute underwear is forever.

    they would look really sexy! …if they didnt have that scarring. the only scars i like seeing are deliberate ones (scarification, cutting, etc) not ones from rejecting body piercings. rejections scars are just proof that whoever they belong to was living in denial of rejection for too long

    With how much the tissue on the ribs expand and contract wth everyday movement, sleeping, stretching, walking, I don’t know they didn’t see that coming.

    They did look sweet.

    Or maybe she didn’t notice, how often do you look at the side of YOUR ribs? My navel randomly started looking like that and started to reject and I didn’t notice…
    Anyways, maybe she will treasure the scars as a reminder of her lovely staples. They’ll make a cool shape too.

    at least if she takes proper care of the area once the staples are taken out, she’ll be left with unique and really cool looking scars.
