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.

Ear Shield

I love Just Me‘s handmade ear shield! Very neat… He’s also got a nice set of facial scars which you can see on the clickthrough, done by Lukas Zpira.

    I have this feeling he’s part of some secret hit-man club.

    i had this wonderful little image of him as my hired bodyguard-slash-best friend where we’re eating ice cream in a park until he slices a puppy in half because it gets too close. because i mean, he’s a bodyguard. that’s what he does.

    seriously though the ear shield + shades is just about the coolest look ever.

    That is sooo unique. And actually very flattering.

    Between the glasses, shaved head, piercings, and suit though he kind of reminds me of Rude from Final Fantasy 7/Advent Children.

    Not to give away my unprecedented nerdishness, but does he remind anyone else of Rude (from Final Fantasy VII:Advent Children)?

    On a side note, I always love seeing really well dressed pierced people. Living in NYC I sometimes feel like I’m not getting looks for my stretched lobes, but for having stretched lobes and an Armani shirt on with slacks as opposed to skin tight jeans and a t-shirt covered in skulls…

    Wallyworld8 has the right idea. I might not have my cauliflower ears if I had had some plastic ear shields when I was wrestling at Iowa U.

    “ear shields…the new grill?”

    haha, YES. It should be. Because grills need to go away, seriously.

    Also, this is possibly the coolest thing I’ve seen.
