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.

Ladder to Head-En.

Rei’s nape (and beyond) corset makes me so happy..

Yes, it’s permanent.

    Thompson – I hope not, let me know if you find it though (I’m trying super-hard to keep track). The only similar one I can find is this.

    Looks to me like she tried to start a nape corset already, gave up on that and got a much more awesome idea instead 🙂

    Looks fantastic. Also, I can’t tell whether the modblog is tattooed on or not!

    Dam This Looks Awesome And It Just Gave Me One Hell Of An Idea For A Tattoo/Piercing Combination. Getting A Corset Piercing Then After Healing Getting A Tatt Of The Ribbon. This Either An Awesome Idea Or One Of Those Pointless Ones

    I must admit, when I saw it first it completely fooled me. Made me wonder how that kind of transdermal jewellery would be implanted, why I’ve never seen trans in this or a similar placement, what it feels like to touch etc.
    You bastards tricked me 😛
