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.

Russian Pitbull

By my count that’s eight cheek piercings (in a pretty agressive cluster) and twenty-three lip piercings. That’s got to be a record, or at least close to it? The transdermal mohawk is by Misha at Scar in Tula, Russia. I love that his smile is still there through all the metal!

    It looks like a bit of overkill to me, but I still think it looks amazing and whatever floats your boat. Very cool.

    What I want to know is when he takes them out can he spurt water out of them(ones in mouth&chee) and look like a fountain! 😀 That’d be a fun photo/video if he can.

    wow the cheek ones are really close together! quite intense.
    how long do cheeks take to heal?

    I love the cheeks!

    So many piercings.. yet I think thats its just the huge septum BCR that makes it all a bit much.

    The rest are glorious though

    Well as it is my picture!!! I can say that the mohawk was done here in the UK by Emilio Gonzalez when he was over back in 2004. I am based in London and started getting modified in 1997.

    The dimples in the cheeks have been created by having the piercings done as I did not have dimples before.

    How dare you say this guy is disturbed “concerned” I know him to be a wonderful well adjusted,intelligent and articulate guy. People don’t have to meet your or anyone elses idea of image to funtion properly. Get over yourself and celebrate individuality!

    I think it is quite funny that Shannon did not recognise me in the first instance, but hey I have such a great sense of humour that I am enjoying reading all the comments.

    So gillian wonders if I have problems with soup!! well yes I do at times but it is now something I am used to now. I do like soup especially the arty stuff like clear soup with a fried egg in. I find the best way to eat soup is to find a spoon that you are used to and actually fits the mouth without getting too tangled up, yes it is a quite an art I have to admit. I do not usually drip it all over the place like I used to, but have to sit at a table as having the bowl any lower does create problems. Yoghurt is actually worse!! If people just start giving me odd looks I just stick my split tongue out as that usually shuts them up or gives them something else to moan about.
