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.

    Hey. I saw her on some LAME LAME LAME documentary on MSNBC over the weekend.
    It starred a lot of really great people from the body mod community, but the overall tone was a horrible one
    and they had this ANNOYING psychiatrist, Armando R. Favazza who wrote “Bodies under Siege: Self-mutilation and Body Modification in Culture and Psychiatry” kept making all these lame diagnosis.

    but anyways, this artist was shown tattooing this Jewish girl’s arm.
    at least, i think it was her. pretty sure. i recognize the arm tattoo.

    but seriously, that documentary made me mad.
    it’s airing again on august 10th.

    okay, people settle down.
    it’s a vertical lip piercing, not a birthmark.
    the marks on my shoulders are brands.
    the marks on my chest are suspension scars.
    there’s one random scar on my chest that’s from chicken pox when i was little.

    anything else???
