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.

That’s a neat placement!

Yowch, snug piercings — the only piercing named after a clothing line — hurt badly enough without any extra tricks… but I quite like this snug orbital placement that Jennn had done by JD at Evolution Tattoo in Santa Rosa.

    I had that exact piercing done with one ring, and it didn’t heal too well. The ring ended up getting sucked into my snug almost completely because of swelling, and had to have it pretty much dug out of my ear with a scalpel and forceps.

    not fun. hope yours goes better.

    It does not look like a keloid is forming or if so its way too soon to tell. It looks like hypertrophic scarring might be developing though……pet peeve. Stop calling everything a freaking keloid.
