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.

Que Dolor!

I’m pretty sure that no one needs me to translate for Pascal (A Piel Studio, Sabadell, Barcelona) when he says, “sufrimiento piercing!”

    Gah! Looks like you could just brush that thing and it would burst forth in a river of pus and blood…. well, maybe more blood then pus, but damn, that does not look like a happy piercing..

    “sufrimiento piercing!â€? indeed.

    That said, his others are fine and dandy, so props to him.

    I am not quite sure what is happening here…
    Is he piercing it? removing it?
    More than anything, what is that long rod-thingy?

    That looks HORRIBLE!

    Then again, his eyebrow piercing on that side looks a little shallow to me also.

    Good luck healing that, dude! :\

    I have no idea what is going on here. It looks like a guy with an eyebrow ring, a skewer through his eyebrow, and a really big zit.
