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.

Double Tunnel Transversal

Hells_Monkey has a pretty cool self-done (with help from Toast making the tunnels) transverse lobe piercing that passes through a pair of 10mm tunnels.

    I love the look of double tunnels.However what I love are 3 tunnels that get smaller twords the bottom of the lobe.I know there was a pic of someone who had it and they were huge great look.This one is awsome because of the transversal.+10 in my book.

    This photo was taken the morning after I did it 🙂 Its doing really well for itself. I was sea salt soaking it for the first couple of weeks, then have just been rinsing it under the shower.

    Thanks by the way Shannon 🙂

    haha you’re fussy 😛 Nah, it was really difficult to get it off the bar for the first 3-4 days, especially because the tunnels are only 10mm.

    I dont get it sticking to the bar any more though, so it looks a lot better. I’m excited about downsizing the bar eventually so that it is more snug to my lobe (obviously this one is longer for swelling ) 🙂

    I so need to find someone who could machine a couple of pairs of my 1/2 inch steel tunnels so I can wear my transverse lobe piercings with something other than silicone plugs =(
