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.

How embarassing

If I was going to make a list of everything wrong with this video, it would be a very long list…

    Wow. Just…wow.

    At least the “piercer” sprung for some gloves and dollar store jewelry – what more do you need? Hepititis? Free of charge!

    i dont believe it’s a question of what was done incorrectly during the procedure. The real question is as follows:

    Was there anything done correctly?…and you should know the answer.

    This video pisses me off.. That’s what happens in a country where piercing isn’t allowed.

    HAHAHAHA! That was a nice one. Apart from condoms on fingers, I love how the guy turns red just above his necklace-thing, but stays white underneath. And come on, is he a guy or a 5 year old girl? 😀

    because fingercots are so much cheaper and more efficient.

    wow…. just wow

    Uh, as soon as I’d see his “finger gloves” I’d be out of the door in a heartbeat. And I wonder if that jewelry was autoclaved…

    If I showed this to the mod-friendly doctors I work with in the emergency room, I think their positive opinions on modification would change. 🙁

    EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO IS SO WRONG.
    NO WAY WAS THIS DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL.

  15. Frankie Avatar

    What a pussy! Maybe someone should of told him to go to a professional to get pierced. One it doesn’t really hurt and 2 he might not get an infection from ungloved hands. I bet the equipment isn’t sterile either. Yuck!

    Oh, hhaha, I’ve seen this on youtube. Being a professional body modification artist for 6 years this video made me want to puke and die and then some. I just cant help but think that this is staged. Are people really this ridiculous? Wait I know that they are, I deal with fixing this kind of thing all the time….ehhhh, It’s exhausting to see how many people let there friends who ‘have done this before and did a good job’ let them do it to save a buck.

    you know, i’ve only been pierced twice by a professional-more will be on the way!- but, even i was totally fuckin horrified…ok, not so much because i’ve seen people get pierced and tattooed in worse places but still,ewwww.

    Gotta loveeee that crooked piercing. I hear its all the rage to be pierced with unsterilized too-short (http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Tongue_Swelling) jewellery (acrylic top ball).

    Can’t wait till I can offer this in my shop! Then I will be teh 1337 condom-finger-toting piercing ninja too.

    B. that tongue ring was….horrible. it was plastic…just give me the noose.
    C. its wrong to pierce a 5 year old girls tongue. ; )

    wow… now, I have never had my tongue pierced nor do I have extensive knowledge with being a piercer…

    but I was left with the following questions:
    – wth, were those condoms on his fingers and why was the piercer such a dick? Is there a reason he couldn’t have iced the guys tongue to help him relax, even if it doesnt really work, wouldn’t that at least let him *think* it won’t hurt as much? Was that piercing crooked? why did it look like the top of a play piercing needle and not a silver ball like I’m so familiar with seeing? Wasn’t the jewelry too short? Was that room a lil too dirty for piercing? Shouldn’t he have used a clamp or something on the tongue so the guy wouldn’t have to “hold still”?

    I don’t know about the guy crying and whining through it – I’m a big baby so I figure people react different ways and maybe when you have a condom fingered guy coming at you you’ll tense up so it’ll hurt more.

    The kid is wearing dog tags, if that is what is supposed to be “protecting” our country I’m scared.

    How did he handle getting his tats?

    I’m not even gonna go any further. I can’t. It’s just wrong.

    My brother split his tongue right down the middle when he was around six or seven … and he didn’t make half the noise this guy did.

    Those finger condoms did look a bit sketchy. It’s not like finger-tips are the only place that bacteria can hang out.

    I’m pretty sure this was done over seas, I mean the man was wearing dog tags, this isn’t happeneing in some shop in the states, that’s why the conditions suck sooo bad.

    “This is an Army friend, getting his tongue pierced in South Korea. They aren’t legally allowed to pierce anything in South Korea except in a hospital so this guys shop that is doing the piercing isn’t a legal shop and he probably isn’t qualified to give the piercing.”

    >>>this isn’t happeneing in some shop in the states, that’s why the conditions suck sooo bad.

    I’m sorry but some of the worst piercings I have ever seen in my life have come from the USA. Lack of external regulation and compliance mean that technically anyone with a clean premises can pierce.

    There needs to be a legal authority and regulatory board that the body modification industry are governed by to ensure the highest quailty possible.
