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.

Belly Button Turn-Off.

Warren recently removed this poor quality piece of jewellery from a customers navel.

    I like it when stuff like this shows up because then i can show it to the type of people that still try to defend their use of cheap jewelry as being just fine.

    mmm yummy, I was looking at jewellery today and even in my skint stae refused to buy it because it didn’t mention anywhere what metal it was. There’s no excuse for ignorance, you only get one body, why do people do this to themselves?!

    That looks like it was plated with silver and the silver has worn off the back from the acidity of the wearers skin. That’s why it’s all funky and pitted on the back. I’ve had lots of (Non-piercing) jewellery mess up like that because people told me it was sterling silver when it was just plated. Ugh.

    … ewe. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

    What grosses me out, truly, is that this obviously didn’t get this gross overnight. Being clean is cool, kidz!

    Actually, it kind of looks like someone inadvertently swallowed it and that French guy pulled it out of a big hunk of shit while raking through dirty nappies. That’s even MORE hot.

    It obviously wasn’t just the fault of the jewellery – the way it looks rusty around the joint between barbell and ball suggests that the person hadn’t been cleaning their navel for quite some time.

    Just my two cents but the world doesn’t come in black and white. Not all cheap jewellery is automatically bad; if a person pays attention to and takes care of their body they should be able to notice what works and what doesn’t.

    i would like to add to my comment (#20) that although i do not believe that materials other than implant grade metals or possibly borosilicate glass should be used in fresh or healing piercings, there will always be cases of people who can heal with almost anything in their piercings. ive personally healed piercings with sterling silver, 14k gold, and 316L stainless steel. but until i started using implant grade stuff as initial jewelry, i just thought i took forever to heal. turns out about 80% of my healing discomfort was from the inappropriate jewelry and other problems arising from the poor quality jewelry.

    That had to have felt great in her belly button. That’s why I always buy the right stuff.

    It grossed me out when he first posted it, and it still does. And my opinion still remains the same; that regardless of how shitty your piercer is, or how poor of quality your jewelry is, at the end of the day, it’s up to YOU to recognize when something is wrong.
