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.

“The most fun ever for a school project”

Myjah’s friend Alex was taking a photography course at their local community college, and for his final project, an elective, he asked for Myjah’s help.

He gave me a call and asked if I would let him snap a couple of photos of the few mods I have. Of course, that led to him asking if I would actually consent to being pierced by him that night, and voila! My first play piercing session. I think the funniest bit about it was that he had the most stand-out subject in the class — everybody else shot pictures of their pets or houses, albeit in an artsy way. I have a feeling we had more fun with this final than the others.

Below is one of Alex’s black and white shots (“with mild boobage”), and after the break are a few more photos that were taken with Myjah’s digital camera.

    muddud–totally lame, agreed
    you have so many 13 year olds posting pictures of themselves in their underwear, yet something with actual artistic value will get myspace deleted

    I hate hate HATE the american view of the human body. We are taught from the moment we are born to be ashamed of who we are. I could go on for hours ranting…

    Maybe the MySpace pages were deleted because most people don’t understand the difference between body modification and self-mutilation? I could understand if people running a social networking site for teenagers don’t want to allow pictures that they think are encouraging kids to cut themselves. Still, they should have let you guys explain first.

    This reminds of of an incident that happened to me a while ago, for my A-level media documentary i filmed a play piercing sessions on me by myself, and then interviewed my ‘modded’ friends, Unfortunately when i handed the footage in they recognized it had been shot on collage grounds and immediately threw me off the course, and from the collage, upsetting but life is a big lesson. Great shots and glad you didn’t make same mistake as me.
