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.

Matching Surface Spirals

Nickk Leading at Perforations in Denver, CO, just did this pair of 14ga 2″ custom bend surface-weave sternum piercings. Nickk should pierce a few dozen more, give them all different aftercare instructions, and see which works best in the name of science… or is that a little “kill em all, let god sort them out?”. Because I’ve tried so many weird piercings myself, I’m probably a little too pro-human-experimentation.

    I hope it heals well, it’ll look really well when the redness goes away. It also looks rather hard to do.

    I can’t really see it healing, I can only picture it rejecting. Hopefully I’m wrong, it’ll look beautiful once it heals!

    It’ll be interesting to see this heal…having said that, I’ve had surface piercings before that didn’t look like they’d stay in and have healed perfectly fine. I guess it depends on the person. Looks beautiful though.
