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.

Micro-Piercing

Eldaarwen‘s piercing, a “micro-ring” surface piercing under her eye, was done at Buzz in Charleroi. I think it’s fairly new in this photo, but I have a friend that’s had a similar piercing for many years now, so it’s definitely a technique that can heal with positive long term results.

    The gauge is so small, I would think that catching it once would simply rip it straight out.

    Nicholas: I googled, but found nothing. I have been to France many times but I have never seen those. Could you point us in the right direction? I want to see more of those, probably on myself.

    here is a good website. It’s in french, but you don’t need to know french to check out the pictures:
    http://mariopiercing.com/micro_piercing/

    it has tons of pictures of different micro piercings, including the most popular, that eye area. Also, if you go to google.fr and type in “micro piercing” you will find a whole bunch more pages of this odd technique.

    I don’t see how it would be viable long term, but I guess not everybody heals the same way. It looks interesting though.

    Hey again Nicholas. Thanks for the link. I still can´t find any good sites about it, even if I use the french google, but I passed the idea to my piercer and asked what he thinks. I can´t believe I have never seen this before… I thought I had seen it all.

    Hi everybody,

    My english is not fluent, but I saw my links on your website so I wll give you some more informations about micro-piercing!

    Firstable, micro-piercing is protected and deposited in France by Laurent Pressanda. He make himself its rings, so you can’t find and buy them to someone else.

    Laurent come once a month in my shop in Switzerland, that’s why I know this way of piercing.

    I can actually see how this would heal quite well… the area of skin it passes through is tiny, and as it explains on that French website the jewellery is only 0.6mm thick (in their procedure, at least – this may be different). Seems to me like – provided it wasn’t disturbed during healing – something with such a tiny fistula might have quite a good chance of healing.

    But then I’m not a piercer, nor do I have one of these piercings, so really I’m just talking out of my arse! :-p

    Man…when are we going to see this imported to the USA? This picture and the ones on Mario’s website look beautiful. It looks tons better than the other picture of the woman with the huge anti-eyebrow ring that was posted a while ago.
