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.

Through the Earhole.

38mm stretched lobe and a blingtastic microdermal, who could ask for more!

    I got pierced by Carl. A very lovely guy indeed.
    And the microdermal is so aesthetically pleasing. Lovely stuff!

    Um… deja vu? Or am I remembering a different yet similar picture… o_O
    Oh, and what’s going on up at the ear itself? I can’t figure if it’s another microdermal, a little stud, or what; the contrast is whacked out. Oh, speaking of which, I love the blue tones in the picture.

    I don’t believe this has been posted before, although I’m using a bundle of photos that Shannon sent over to me. There shouldn’t be anything in there that’s been posted before but forgive me if I post something that’s already been up 🙂

    I do remember that one as well, and it might just be that I’m thinking of. And I suppose that the dot on the tragus could be from the lens; using my fingers to trace the arc allong the bottom it does seem to line up.
    That reminds me that I really should get a fisheye one of these days… I could shoot some Dalek-eye-view skits. 😛
