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.

Brain Piercing

That is a single bar that goes from one side to the other, right? Hmm… On second thought, perhaps it’s a pair of dermal anchors. These were done by Pervert Bastard Scum (aka Greg Benuska) at Suburban 171 in Lockport, IL.

    I wanna see a pic in 6 months. Our studios done almost 2000 surface anchors, with documetation to prove it. I feel that in some areas anchors are definetly temporary.

    I wish the internet had some kind of sarcasm-translator.
    Oh, and I really like these. I’d be interested to know how old these are, though, and how difficult they’d be to heal.

    …I sense a trend.

    Very pretty, though I, too, am a bit hesitant regarding healing. I doubt Id ever get this done as its way too close to the eyes for my comfort. I’m a bit weird about eyes. God help me if I ever have to undergo eye surgery!

    As far as the eye-rubbing thing goes… as any contact lens-wearer knows, it’s entirely possible to kill the “rub” reflex altogether. I don’t do it even when I’m out of them for an extended period of time..

    These really are pretty. I’d love to see an eyes-open shot.

    Talk about concidence, just this past Saturday I went to a concert and one of the girls I was hanging with had gems just there and Orgasmic Fantasy and I were saying that it would be great to have dermal anchors placed here and w00t someone somewhere has done it. Very cool indeed

    I have a dermal anchor on each temple and it baffles me how often I’ve had the “Does that go all of the way through?!” question.

    Regardless of the healing times etc, for the time it is there, it’s really nice. A big thing about the opposite sex for me is eyes, and this would just be the ‘icing on the cake’ so to speak. 🙂

    #18, I have 2 on my sternum, and I have discs on mine, as they’re about a month old, and the most annoying question I get is “OH MY GOD WHY DID YOU HAMMER NAILS INTO YOUR CHEST?” (I get that at least once a day when they are visible.)

    Pervert did do the piercings at my shop a couple years back and if I recall correctly they were actually nostril screws, either straight or with a slight bend to them. Last I new they healed well.
