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.

Hip Piercing Array

This set of surface bar (the right way to do surface piercing in my opinion) hip piercings was done at Get It On Tattoo and Piercing in San Diego, California.

    I REALLY like the look of hip piercings, but before now I’d only seen one one each side…this looks great though.

    Am I the only one who doesn’t think they look too happy? Disks would’ve been a much better choice IMO.

    Beautiful lady and a pretty piercing but I wonder how those would deal with any high impact activities.

    Very sexy… but I don’t see how she’ll ever wear pants again (not particularly complaining…)

    I agree with #7. Flat discs would look nice I reckon but it’s still very interesting none the less.

    Seems like they’d be a horrible pain under.. like.. jeans or so. But I don’t deny they’re gorgeous. I guess if you constantly wore low-riders… which I suppose she has the figure for. 🙂

    i agree with 7 & 13 entirely, as well as shannon himself. i LOVE when surface piercings are done correctly, but i think they look like they stick out too far with balls (and these ones generally look like they stick really far?).

    looooooooooove the idea tho 🙂 i want.

    looking closely at the photo’s I have to agree with the flat disc option, especially for the area in which the work was done.

    also looking closely at the photo you can see either some dry-ness/crusty matter that might be a variety of things, or it might also be scar tissue build up due to the placement and the fact that beads are being worn.

    definately looks at least a month if not couple months old. Doesn’t look half bad, I must say…Just would totally say switching to discs and even shorter rises on some of the surface bars, would help the piercings chance of success.

    i agree with warren. the placement, though beautiful as it is, seems rather impractical.. well, when the piercings were in their prime, i’m sure they made a pretty girl even prettier!
