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.

Don’t miss the dermal anchor…

Both one of the most beautiful people on IAM, and the owner of one of the most pervy usernames (and a cool custom layout), ookumbubbleoo, used to have an inverted nipple (the left one, if you’re wondering), but not any more due to piercing by Jason King at Psycho Tattoo in Marietta, GA. You may recognize the tattoo from the earlier post about the delayed inflamation after Burning Man.

    Does that right nipple have teeth marks on it?

    thanks shannon.

    i’m not entirely sure my nipples are pop out- able. one of them gives the occasional appearance sometimes but the other has never been out.

    i’m sure i can find a piercer who’d be willing to give it a shot though…

    That was the original modblog post I saw that made me want to get my nipples pierced.

    As dirty #7 can vouch for me, I was very insecure because of my inverted nipple, but it’s amazing how much a barbell change how you see/feel about yourself :X

    do inverted nipples occur evenly across the board between guys & chicks?

    It seems that most comments are about her nipples.
    I found the tattoo interesting although I’m not sure what it represents. You have 2 flaming dice with duck feet and a horseshoe with a dagger through it. Where did someone see an anchor?

    The anchor is in the center of the star at the bottom of the horseshoe, and it looks like at the right angle it would shine nicely 🙂
