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.

It Beats Visiting Space.

Alex Gagarin (no relation I assume) had some time to kill and experimented with mighty gauge cheek skewering..

I’ve just noticed that I’m using the same sort of sentence structure and humour that I annoy BMEvideo members with, bear with me. I’ll improve.

    Wow! that looks intense. They do a lot of large gauge cheek skewering in Thailand at the vegetarian festival. The only thing that shocks me is that in Thailand they dont do any of those rituals in a clean sterile environment! Im all for rituals for personal growth but Im also for steralization for personal hygene.

    Wow. That looks so intense, but also like so much fun.
    I don’t think any other cheek skewering photo has ever made me ogle like this.
    I kinda can’t stop looking at it…

    To argue for the veggie fest sometimes rituals dont need to adhere to western ideals for a clean sterile environment. All the participants are well aware of what they are doing and the risk involved. Life doesnt always occur in a nice clean white room with a face mask and sterile gloves.
