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.

He’s So Lippy!

My mate Michael‘s labret recently reached 37mm (1 1/2″) 42mm (1″ 11/16″), his tongue’s close behind at 25mm (1″), clickthrough to see them both in “action”.

    I’m sorry, Roobarb. Maybe I got confused because I know I submitted 37mm and 42mm 🙂

    I always wondered how long it would take for people to get their lips disced once ear stretching got mainstream, routine even. Apparently the time is now! All these people I’ve seen on BME with large gauges look frowny. 🙁

    I’ve always wondered, do lip plates disable the corners of the mouth from pointing upwards (like when smiling) like they naturally would? It seems like the weight and how it goes all the way across, even past the natural ends of the mouth, would make it quite a challenge to smile.
    And also, does this completely immobilize the bottom lip from moving? Like with the plug out, you couldn’t really close your mouth without the bottom lip just hanging freely, correct?

    really great your lip: i dream of having it too. do you always wear the plug or do you take it out? it would be fantastic to see you. i can only guess, that the plug does change the way of drinking and eating…
