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.

Mirin Dajo II

I recently posted a video of Mirin Dajo doing intense skewering (he’s unique though because of the depth to which he penetrates his inner body cavity and even organs). I wanted to share some photos of a friend in Germany who also does very intense (and also largely private) body rituals. I want to mention a few things about this set of pictures before people comment, because I spent a moment debating whether it was a good idea to post this publicly rather than just inside BME/HARD:

  • These pictures are quite intense. Don’t click them if you’re not OK with that.
  • He’s doing fine and has done this before.
  • The damage involved is in line with many surgical procedures (liposuction, procedures involving dermal elevation, etc.) and the risks are managable.
  • The fact that he’s OK doesn’t mean it’s safe or easy — don’t try this at home unless you absolutely understand the issues.
  • There are thousands of people who do this and while unusual, it is not at all unheard of.
  • Throughout history thousands more people have done these rituals both publicly and privately for a variety of reasons.
  • He’s doing this because he finds it a valuable and worthwhile experience. That’s a good enough reason for him, and it’s a good enough reason for me.

    Thanks for supporting us Bradley. I’m not exactly sure what you’re saying, but I can detect your hostility towards the band. These are exactly the types of reactions we aim to achieve, and they’re what keeps us going.

    If you know Shannon, how long does it take your German Friend to heal after something like this?

    Guys..Mirin Dajo pierced his ORGANS. His lungs, stomach, kidneys even his HEART.
    many doctors attested that any other person would have died from what he did, and he did it hundreds of times.
    It’s way more than what the bloke posted here shows.
