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.

The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

High Nostril Piercings

They’re really not that different from standard nostril piercings, but I really like this high nostril placement a lot… it’s definitely odd visually.

    Violet – I sympathise. My oddly narrow nostrils seem to match my oddly narrow belly button (so narrow that the ball on the end of the barbell opens it up horizontally much more than it’s used to).

    But damn, she *is* cute…

    Piercings dont always need to be symmetrical! Id look silly with both nostrils done, happy with just my left.
    I like these high nostrils though! The jewellery actually fits her face, for once. See too many pictures of people with huge jewellery thats completely disproportionate and just doesnt look right.

    I’m not sure they’re not symmetrical…
    I think it’s just the angle of the picture
    it makes it hard to tell
    either way, very cute

    Thanks for all the compliments!
    I know the picture is angled weird, it’s hard to see if the piercings are symetrical, although, from what I can tell by looking at them everyday Hayley did an amazing job they are about as straight as they get.
    Also, I love my smiley and I’m glad you all like it too!!

    This post makes me all the more sad that I just removed my left high nostril an hour ago. Now I have one and am hoping it doesn’t look unbearably awkward.
