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.

    Definitely have to agree with what Alan wrote in his entry, #17:

    “Looks neat, but that’s a crazy long barbell!”

    I think it’d definitely look a lot nicer with a shorter length bar.

    Alan + Warren, i also happen to agree 😛 Basically I REALLY didnt want to underestimate the swelling, and measuring my lobe acurately was quite difficult as i dont have decent tools etc. I was kind of over-compensating really. I cant wait to donsize the barbell, it will look much better then 🙂

    I’m curious as to how one would keep this clean. I find if I don’t take out my tunnels every couple days or so they get really stinky. I sort of can’t imagine keeping the jewellery in there permanently?

    haha thanks araba 😛

    daryl, i can pretty much pop the plugs out either side while i am in the shower which does the job for now. When this is properly healed, i will leterally just remove the bar every day once in the shower, clean my lobes, then put it all back together again 🙂

    Though luckily i dont get ear cheese that badly 🙂

    Nice one, Mr. Monkey!

    So far as the crust complaints, I imagine the majority of photos on ModBlog aren’t taken with ModBlog in mind. You get something new, want a photo, and may as well submit it to BME for some coupons while you’re at it… and then a couple weeks later you’re accidentally famous on the internets 😉
