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.

Two Year Old Implants

Iguana Mike‘s implants survived his recent legal altercations, and seem to be doing quite well at two years of age (initially done by Shawn O’Hare at Fillmore Tattoo and Piercing in California). I have to admit that giant star implant in his forehead is really visually overpowering and I’ll bet is a little disconcerting in person as it’s so big!

    Yes please. I would also like to know the outcome of this situation, because if he has indeed been convicted, I will cancel my IAM and BME account without a second thought. I will not support a site that supports rapists.

    You could have at least waited until there was a definite verdict before you blogged him. Imagine that one of the alleged victims is an IAM/BME member and sees this? This is spitting in their faces, and in the faces of any survivors of rape/sexual abuse reading this.

    I am getting tired of the offhand way you treat subjects like this and domestic violence on your blogs. And before anyone tells me to fuck off if I don’t like it, I had faith in this site and have been reading it for years. But I am done.

    And his implants look ridiculous.

    if the alligations are true then now many more people know to watch out for this guy then before – and if they’re not true then we can just go back to looking at his implants. Bad things happen all the time and sometimes looking them right in face (or forehead) are better then not mentioning them at all. Ignorance is bliss but awarness is the answer.

    I personally do not like this because it is so large. When I first noticed it I was quickly going to the bottom of the page to catch up on the photos I missed and didn’t really look at it too closely, and I just saw a really lumpy forehead, I assumed it was going to be implants, but, giving it a closer inspection, I still see a really lumpy forehead.

    I too am curious as to how the case turned out.

    A.F. – Even if it turns out to be true, suggesting that posting a picture of his mods is supporting rape is completely foolish. And if you’re saying that there’s some offhand treatment of rape as a matter of habit here, then really, that’s a reflection of your own personal issues, not my attitudes, because your statement is simply incorrect.

    for the record Mike is not being charged with RAPE (ie: forcing himself on someone) that might be the term they are using…But he’s being charged with offerin service for sexual favours…ie: he is alleged to have offered piercings to minors for sexual…

    Also if you’re going to delete your account due to potential perverts,etc being on IAM…You should probably have deleted your account already by now..

    I wanted to make a modblog entry discussing matters like this and how we as piercers need to be ethical and professional and how the clients need to not stand for any of this (sexual harassment,etc,etc,etc)…But I wasn’t allowed due to it being a legal case and I was told better to leave it alone so not to get BME potentially involved.

    I truly hope the allegations are false because that’s another black eye on the piercing profession, that we don’t need.
