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.

Bee attack!

I knew that crows liked shiny things, but what is it with bugs on piercings? Eidolon‘s braving a bee sting on her 00ga lobe…

    It’s not a dead bug. I think it just happened to land there and her boyfriend took the pic (correct me if I’m wrong).

    those lobes look nice and smooth–out of curiosity, was this done by a dermal punch?

    No fear. It’s not a bee, it’s a fly in the family Syrphidae.
