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.

Play Piercing Photo Shoot

Chris at Native Rituals in Hattingen, Germany sent in these beautiful photos from a play piercing-themed promo shoot they did for the studio recently. More pictures continue after the break. The models are Cindy, Nika, and Miss Cheyenne, and the photos are by T. Burggraf, and Chris did the piercing.

    My word. This is the first time the inherant beauty of play piercing really hit home. That’s delightful.

    Senta/Cinnamon: It looks like a fishtail corset skirt, with some tulle or organza for volume. But I’m not sure; the corset might be a second piece made out of the same material. The stripes match up nicely, but it looks like there’s some bias tape at the base of the corset part. I’d like to see more details for the skirt; it’s an interesting look.

    The woman in the skirt is nice too. 😛
