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.

    I’d like to know exactly how the top of a doorframe ripped a girl’s finger off. Do tell.

    Horatio #95: That’s why I made the Grateful Dead comment earlier. It’s exactly the same as the late, great (grate?) guitarist Jerry Garcia’s missing finger. Maybe he’ll get the patented “flesh mute” sound.

    they were doing construction at the school and the frame of the door wasn’t put in completely and when she jumped up to tap the frame the ring got caught in the top frame of the door.

    Damn, that wouldn’t have been the best experience.

    #102, I’m sure he can find some more creative ways to say ‘fuck off’. Or there’s always the other middle finger =D
    [unless that’s been amputated too]

    although i am not into modification and i have kind of a feeling that SOME people find it cool and be ignorant that it is part of their life. But i find this to be a true modification. Usually modified people would show off their modifications. if you are rrally serious in modifications than you wouldnt show it to anyone and do it quietly. than ill belive you really are born into modifications. well my opinion.

    Definitely not my cup of tea.
    But each to their own.
    I’d rather keep my limbs/fingers and toes. I find them kind of useful.

    Either way extreme to the core lol.
