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.

Aerodynamic ridges for deeper diving

Or maybe faster bike riding? Either way I like Silicun‘s forehead ridges and how they follow the shape of his head, done by Howie (LunaCobra.net). I assume that the bruising is residual from the procedure.

    emily – I don’t think so… It’s definitely been on BME and IAM, because those sites get the content first, but I don’t see it anywhere here after a quick check in the search engine.

    They’re so subtle (for implants) and natural-looking. I bet people do doubletakes.

    i always thought it was really odd that you can get bruising so far away from the actual implant area.

    Hydrodynamic? (looks it up) I guess it does exist. I got made fun of in 6th grade for answering hydrodynamic when my teacher asked for the water – equivalent of aerodynamic. She said the word was “streamlined”. After 15 years of self doubt, I feel much better now.
