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.

Nostril Piercing Scene

I love this photo of Vern piercing Trevorz nose on so many levels… It’s like a mini-version of the Last Supper or something with all the little details and character interactions.

    oh this is adorable. especially the holding hands. i’d assume he’d use disposable forceps since he doesn’t have an autoclave. makes sense to me!

    Dani, speaking from experience (I’ve gotten my nostrils pierced 4 times, two by a professional, and the ones I have right now are by myself and my brother), they hurt quite a fucking lot. Some people are better at hiding the pain, is all. I try to be as stoic as possible during a piercing and most people can’t tell it hurts when they watch me.

    Out of my dozens of piercings, nostrils were a fucking twat. They hurt ridiculous amounts.

    Aww, this picture makes me smile 🙂 What good buddies to stick it out with him 🙂 I like the hand holding – it reminds me of when I was little and my mum held my hand to help me get my ears pierced 🙂

    i just had one of my nostrils pierced twice the other day and i whinged like a bitch. maybe its just because having someone doing something painful right up in your face is more invasive, but i’d rate them as one of the more painful piercings ive had.

    im with everyone else on the hand holding – heaps cute!

    I can’t really see what’s going on here- maybe it’s a gauge or technique thing, but I’ve had my nostril done twice (2nd time through scar tissue) and it hardly hurt at all. Perhaps 15 years of migraines have screwed with my pain tolerance.
    Great photo, though!

    I’m glad the first response was about him holding his balls, its the first thing I noticed. Nose piercings do hurt. I did my nostril made me think twice about going for the septum since thats more sensitive.

    My septum was painless. My nostril was ok. My high nostril hurt like HELL (and I won’t be doing the other one). I prefer DIY because no one has to see me grimace and stuff 😉

    Like everyone else said. Getting my nostril pierced was THE most painful piercing I’ve had yet. I thought it was gonna be so easy and painless but damn was I wrong. To this day it is still the most painful one I’ve had done.

    And he looks cute!

    I feel really weird. I got both my high nostrils done and they didn’t hurt at all. The only thing that happened was my eyes watered.
