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.

Nose Piercing Tears…

Aww, Irina in Sweden pierced her brother’s septum for him and it made his eyes water! I’m sure a lot of people can relate to that.

That is, unless he’s crying because he got pierced in a parking lot! 😛

    lol aw! I love the first photo
    Mine watered too, which is weird because the clamp hurt more than the actual needle going through, but the pain altogether wasn’t much.

    It really would have been easier with septum clamps instead of Penningtons.
    Buy them off eBay for £6 …

    Haha, adorable! I remember my eyes watering too (when I got mine pierced at 3mm). They still do every time I size up.

    Each to their own but I would never be pierced by anyone in those sort of circumstances. When I got my septum done (on friday :D) it didn’t hurt but my eyes did look a bit watery afters.

    Wow, this is so different to my septum experience. I laid with my head upside down, and not a single tear!

    and it wasn’t outside either 🙂

    Getting my septum made my eyes water a wee bit, but it wasn’t too bad. I’d expected my eyes to pour with tears because I’d read other people’s experiences, but I guess I was lucky!

    These pictures are sweet. And he’s totally cute :p

    .. I don’t know where you heard that, but done right or not, chances are its going to hurt. Mine was done perfectly and yeah, it definitly hurt like fuck. It just depends on the person and how tough their tissue is. obviously if it was done really crooked or horribly, its going to hurt MORE, but as for not hurting at all, it has nothing to do with how well its done.

    Sure gloves would be nice but when I see someone which at 18 is piercing his little (is he?) brother in a parking lot my first thoughts are not about gloves but rather memories of…well too many years ago (no I did not do anybody but nevertheless I did other things in a less than ideal way and that was part of the fun).
    Having said that perhaps next time she could consider a set of gloves…

    It’s not like he was rubbing the needle all over the ground or anything and I’m pretty sure they would of thought of hand washing… There are more places worse off to peirce…

    I cried like I just rubbed my face in a bowl full of raw onions when I got mine done.
    And I know it’s not sanitary ect… but I could help but laugh at the piercing in the parking lot. It’s got a teen quality from it that I can also relate to a long time ago hah.
