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.

For the last time, it’s not fake!

When I originally posted Eric’s tongue web, people thought it was fake. It’s definitely real, although he’s downsized it to a “mere” 00ga… and it’s still as useless as ever! As you can see, he’s quite desperate to justify it, hahaha…

    I don’t know what it is, but something about this piercing makes me feel all horrible inside. I think it must be my weak spot, I really hate the thought of having my tongue web pierced…

    Still, I gotta admit it looks fun!

    Much as I miss my tongue web, I don’t think I’d ever want to stretch it that big… gum erosion! Ahh! But kudos to you, dude.

    I gotta tell you, it feels pretty damn weird. >_< haha. Yeah, to #3, that’s one of the reasons I don’t wear any jewelry in it. I can feel it rub up against my gums if I have a plug in.

    Just for the record, I think what most people thought was fake was the weird color tinting to the other one, and the unnatural shape of the lips. The “top” lips looked like bottom lips, and neither one looked like they belonged to the skin around it. Which I still think is true.

    I don’t think anyone was doubting the peircing.
