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.

It’s not a little tomato; she’s a giant.

16ga (I mean, 000ga) labret by Nicki at Primitive Impressions in Village Gate, Rochester, NY.

    gato- the title said she’s a giant, which means that everything gets bigger (including the hole of her labret)

    Hmm…I’m pretty sure, but not entirely certain that is Erica. Rochester, New York, shithole! I have no pride in my city. But my friend says grand things of Primitive Impressions, especially Jason, though I’ve yet to get anything done there.

    Kevin– I’ve had most of my piercings done there by Jason. I can’t vouch for any other staff, but Jason is an excellent piercer. One of the (very) few things I will miss about Rottenchester is Primitive Impressions.

    I hear he’s very nice and also very good. For some reason he pierced my friends eyebrow when she was 13 and her vertical labret at 14 (with parental consent) but would not do anything on me at age 14 or 15 with parental consent. So, I’ve never had the opportunity to get work done by him.

    I think her eyes were photoshopped, the reflection at the top is blue.

    It’s cute that everything is so small/she’s so big.
