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.

    That is gorgeous! I’ve always considered getting a nape piercing, but I’ve never liked the fact that the surface bar resulted in TWO points of exit. This is a great alternative!

    I’d like to see a farther away shot, without the shirt. The anchor sits perfectly above the smoke(?).

    Sue’s anchor piece is a 3mm square cz set in 14 karat rose gold, and that piece is screwed onto an industrial strength microdermal base.

    The cz top itself costs $50, and is available through our website http://www.venusbymariatash.com, or by calling our studio.
