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.

Should I be scared?

Maybe it’s the opium talking, but seriously, does anyone else see a face, maybe two, in that Amboyna Burl plug that Paul Debruyn (Paul’s Plugs) made? In any case, if you haven’t already checked it out, visit the custom body jewelry gallery on BME – it’s an excellent place to find small vendors that can make you one-of-a-kind jewelry if you can’t find what you’re looking for at BMEshop or your local studio…

    I also see the scream (or at least his cousin).

    The color on these is great. I’ve seen some earrings (regular cheese-wire style with the pendant part just hanging) made of polished cross section heather, which this sort of reminds me of too.

    This was the first time I’ve seen the jewelry gallery, but it won’t be the last. Good idea.

    BTW, the right one is clearly a flaming skull. The left one … well, #31 has given me ideas.

    Funny when paul posted these in the custom forum I totally missed the face in the right one but I saw the mother mary in the left one.

    Interesting what we can see in the grain of wood. Congratulations to paul for making modblog with these interesting plugs.
