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.

Temple Heart Implant Healed

I like kissitgoodbye‘s heart shaped implant, done by Howie while at Metalurgy in Dundee, Scotland — I think if it was me I’d be in line to get a second matching one on the other side. After the break is a second photo of it under different lighting, and from the front, which is interesting because it gives you a better idea of the 3d aspect. You can also see her new white gold tooth in that shot, done by a dentist in Pretoria, South Africa.

    i like the implant! usually I would agree about carrying it out on the other side to make things match but i think in this case it would create too much of a horned look.. which might not be what she is going for.

    what does her tattoo say?

    Sorry, but IMHO (that’s “in my HUMBLE opinion”, in case anyone’s forgotten what the acronym stands for, it’s just my personal taste and cultural background) the gold tooth looks kind of tacky. The scalp tattoo is a lot prettier although the 4th word is kinda hard to read.

    She does look like a different person in each picture. The first one is the best. The gold tooth is trashy.

    I wonder if “stained walks crutch and hobbled sway” would fit on the other side.
