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.

Making A Great Impression!

This BCR subdermal implant (by Simon in London) has very nice form and definition at 27 days in terms of how well the center has sunk down… They don’t always heal that nicely!

    I’d imagine taking that out would be a bitch due to the sunken down center.

    Looks more like a segment or completely circular ring…I don’t see a ball. But mad props either way!

    I didn’t know it could even happen like that.

    It looks awfully red in the center, perhaps he/she has been encouraging it to sink, in some manner.

    I guess you could put something inside the hole and tape it down to push in the skin? Like a small plug or something…am I making sense?

    #12 – that’s the first thing i thought of too.

    Shannon – do you know if that’s what the intent was?

    To the best of my knowledge the intent was a captive bead ring implant.

    I have six implants like these in my forarms. I doubt they stay that sunken in, as you can see by the red mark it looks like he had tattoo ink caps taped in the center and just removed them for the picture. I did the same method and now over a year later they still aren’t that noticable.

    You’d have to clean it out like you would clean your belly button or else you run the risk of getting “arm cheese”.
