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.

230 Needle Play Piercing Scene

Jason Hinchee did 230 play piercings on Grace over a three hour period at a tattoo convention where they were promoting Manchester, NH’s Spiderbite. There are a few more photos after the break.

    With that many needles, would a person end up with faint scars? I think that’d look cool.

    I remember seeing Spiderbite at the Phila Convention last year. Zippy was the reason I decided to get a microdermal rather than a surface bar.

    Xeno – The scars really don’t depend on the number of needles but the size of them. I’d guess those are pretty small if there were 230 of them, probably 22-25ga.

    Therefore, I really doubt there will be any lasting scars – longer than a few weeks or a month.

    I would love to get a closer look at her tattoos, especially the back piece!

    And I agree about the hair!

    CrimsonKiss – Manchester, NH = America. But we were Manchester first, so :). I know that Holier Than Thou in the Northern Quarter do scarification, you should pop in and check out the portfolio.
