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.

    Mmmm, I don’t like smoking or drugs so yeah, not much for me to see here. This seems to have been taken in a place of business is just a bit suss….

    Really, I don’t see what the ” Body Modification” is in this, unless you count complicated effects on the memory. Not all people that are into Body Modification are into drugs.
    I’ve seen to many people go off the rails with addiction for me to ever want to do this……..

    I once had a piercer in a studio set up the room, excuse himself, and return a couple of minutes later smelling of weed to do the piercing.
