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.

Getting your money’s worth

Does this count as reusing needles? There’s another shot of Calico’s 18ga play piercings, with the needles woven in and out of the flesh, after the break.

    That’s gorgeous. It makes me want to run my fingers down the rippled skin.

    Fetish shoot, random amusement, or foreplay. That is the question.

    I wonder if there will be little white flecks of scars there, or if it’ll heal over.

    Whoa, I just saw these were up! First I have to say just how flattered I am to find my tits on Modblog (very).

    Dra: All three?

    Play piercing never scars on me. With 22ga or 23ga needles, there’s only a pink speck afterward. It took about a month for these marks to disappear. There wasn’t much bruising, if I recall.

    I posted these (in a much lower-res format) on my blog at dominatrixnextdoor.com. Actually, http://dominatrixnextdoor.com/blog/?cat=64 gets you everything I’ve posted about play piercing, including a story of my first experience with it.
