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.

Ouch! Bloody Venoms!

These French off-centre tongue piercings sure are bleeding a lot…

    It might be the picture quality, but that blood doesn’t look real.
    However they do look very off-set.

    @ Leavethepoliticstomadmen; goot point!!

    my friend had three done (middle and sides) hers looked something like the above (OK the sides weren’t crooked but still) middle didn’t bleed but the sides did, took 4 hours for it to stop completely.

    as for his lip, that looks relitavely new and still crusty. mine did it for 6 months.

    Those are really badly-done venoms, from what I can see in the photo. Though to me those bumps look like keloids, not congealed blood…even though I know keloids are uncommon.

    Obviously they have nicked a vein…no well placed piercing bleeds that much.

    is it possibly that with a naive piercer and a very convincing client with a bad placement of viens for venoms that he convinced the piercer to pierce at an angle so as to ‘miss’ the veins and still get the venoms he/she wanted to badly. so, bad judgement on two parts plus a veiny tongue?

    or is this rubbish and makes no sense?

    i really wish the person with these sent along some information to stop this possibly mistake from happening again or at least give SOME information so we know what happened! because this is just a tease lol now im horribly curious
