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.

Inverse Vertical Labret

Such a pretty piercing — like a beauty mark for the lip. And Barbara is so pretty already! In this photo the piercing is about a month old, done with a 1.6mm (14ga) stud with a 4mm bead by Hetty at Bodydesign in Ghent, Belgium.

    I absolutley love this piercing and was seriously considering getting it a while ago. Unfortunatly I am a bit of a klutz and know I would just drool all over myself when trying to drink soda and stuff. I love the look though and am happy to see such a lovely photo of it on modblog.
