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.

    I must be the only person who gets grossed out when people put animals in their lobes.

    An animal in a healed (!) lobe is just like an animal on any other bit of skin.
    That photo makes me want a hamster… but I don’t own rodents now, they only live for a few years and I’m always heartbroken!!

    I think that’s adorable! It makes me wish my lobes were big enough to keep rodents in.
