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.

Vampire’s Slave

This scrawny git got his conches dermal punched, and now they won’t stop bleeding… Luckily (or unluckily) he lives in the basement of a Ravenloft Castle and is slowly being drained of his fluids anyway.

    I didn’t even get the reference (my fiance says AD&D, but I’ve only played 3 & 3.5. Is he right??) and I’m supposed to be a proper geek.
    Also, the fact that I find this photograph IMMENSELY HOT illustrates why they shouldn’t let me run Vampire games. 😀

    Nice-looking guy.

    I think that much blood is unnecessary, though. When I had my conches punched, the artist used a co-agulent and lots of ‘claved gauze to keep bleeding (and stress on my body) to a minimum.

    Umm…I’d love to be wrong about this, but is that a kaos plug in that fresh dermal punch?

    Because if it is, whoever put it in should be fucking incarcerated.

    you should be shining a flash light through the ear to make sure to map out the two major veins in the ear and make sure not to go through them. this looks like the vein was likely hit and thus causing all the bleeding.

    It could be teflon.

    Also when I got my conches punched, they immediately stretched them, so there was hardly any bleeding. 🙂

    Red Cross still has that rules about tattoos and piercings? I thought they amended that if you could prove that you had it done at a clean shop.

    When I told them I’d gotten tattooed a few months ago they were like “oh, we’ll call you in September”. Sucks, because I want to give blood, and the places I go to get inked/pierced are nothing but clean.

    Yes, Ravenloft was a campaign setting for AD&D, 2nd Ed. It was originally a one-off module that was essentially a massive dungeon-crawl (but weren’t they all that long ago?).

    And, HEY!, He’s got my implants! 🙁
