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.

Stuck Septum

So, Evan swears that his septum (initially pierced by Silentwes at Electric Chair in Riverside, CA, and then self-stretched) is quite loose at 3/4″, but the first thing I thought when he sent me this photo of his wearing a large ear weight through it was that there was a good chance that the shape of the plug guaranteed it would be stuck there, and he’d be left cutting toward his face with a hacksaw! Luckily, no such misfortune befell him.

    Eep, that’s pretty scary. Looks like his nostrils are almost completely blocked off as well.

    I wonder how breathing is with that in? Though I don’t imagine he wears it all the time, I like the look of the clear acrylic? glass? ::shrug::

    My stretched septum shrinks very quickly if I leave the plug out for anymore than a few hours. The idea of having something like this in makes me feel very apprehensive…almost claustrophobic! The idea of it getting stuck behind those ‘barbed parts’ would really freak me out.

    Man, I’ve had friends that have gotten plugs stuck in their ears while stretching up to the next size, and have to give it a couple days before they could pop them out. I can imagine how shtty that would be with that in your septum.

    Hahahaha Even. It’s really Evan but it’s cool.Yeah this isn’t a long term septum piece. I just wore it for shits and giggles. Figured id take a few snap shoots for my iam page.Breathing isn’t that bad with it in. I can breathe pretty well with it in. If it werent for the length of the weight I’d probably it for a prolonged period.
