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.

Taking a smoke break

Hey, sticking a smoke in your freshly removed implant hole that’s potentially compromized the structure of your skull may not be the greatest idea, but it’s probably safer than other things people do with cigarettes. Let alone just smoking! PS. Great facial scars!

Previously: smoking feet, smoking girls, smoking zombies, smoking assholes, and smoking labrets… And various smoke breaks during suspension, suspension with pizza and beer, and in the middle of bloodplay.

    well, that certainly looks like a bad idea, seing he’s a heave-modded man, I guess he knows his body’s response to such things though

    I guess it’s a testimony to reading BME often and intensely that that doesn’t bother me in the least…

    that guy is attractive beyond reason, though. I really like the black line on his lips/chin..

    Very hansom 🙂 I really really like the line tattoo, I think it suits him perfectly. You know, it’s weird I hardly noticed the smoke, haha.

    Not something I’d do personally, but then again, I don’t have that much courage. I really, really love the lip tattoo, makes him ten times more handsome than he already is.

    It always puzzles me how cuts on foreheads look really deep, but when I feel my own forehead, it seems that there are only bare millimetres of tissue before my skull. Maybe it’s just me?

    kudos for how deep it is.. I’ve only been able to go that deep in my arm and smoking from there just doesn’t taste the same. I love the stitched up scar on the other side too.

    Haha! That’s hilarious and awesome. Irresponsible? Maybe. But so what! I got a laugh out of it.

    The body is capable of dealing with a lot worse than this, and assuming the cigarette isn’t infected with an especially horrible virus, he’ll be just fine.

    Actually I got a chuckle out of it – surprisingly, for me. Maybe b/c it’s so obviously tongue-in-cheek and meant to look goofy, who knows. And it’s not lit, so there’s no wisps of smoke to lace the wound with chemicals etc., and probably hadn’t seen any oral bacteria yet (hopefully), so I’d guess it’d be no biggie if it was cleaned out (the wound) after – I’m guessing it was stitched, or at least Steri-Strip’ed? So unless the person closing it up was a complete chimp, I’m guessing it was washed out prior to closing. I’m somewhat amused.

    Just so you know an earlier example of something like this was used in a class in fourth year med school, It was a sort of a “What would you do if this person came into the urgency room?” . The teacher recommended that a psychiatrist and preferably a relative are available at an early treatment for evaluation of the patients’ capability of living by himself.

    Cheers
