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.

    Is it possible to get smooth segment rings with a really small internal diameter?

    I have my septum stretched to 4mm and would love it to look like hers, just with a 6g ring.

    I’ve got a glass pincher with a 3/8″ internal diameter but having no look finding a ring, can anyone help?

    emdotdee I have a really small smooth segment ring from bodyjewelleryshop.com

    I don’t think they have 4mm in 3/8″ but it’s worth a look 🙂

    Thanks EternalLife but I think their smallest (1/2″) is still too big unfortunetley. I want something that looks really tight too the septum but I guess that’s not going to happen at 4mm.
    Thanks anyways.
