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.

Mister Panty Head*

Peter Mahoney hasn’t worn any jewellery in his lobes for over six months. They’re sitting at just over 3/4″ now and he’s quite happy about it (although he’s found that he’s asked more questions about them now than ever before).

Photograph by Richelle Forsey, tattoos by Daniel Innes (Good Time Design), lobes initially scalpelled by Russ.

* – Not to be confused with the awe-inspiring photographic project by Syx of BlackFrame Studios.

    Anybody could tell which was his gauge at the moment he decided to stop wearing the plugs?
    I’m thinking about doing the same but the resulting hole after 3 or 4 days without jewellery is not big enough… i’m at 25mm right now, thinking to go until 30… any ideas?

    Yea, I definitely like this photo a lot. I can’t actually say why tho….. the red lips on the material are probably part of that.

    The panties head bit isn’t what confuses me. Who, in the heat of the moment hasn’t thrown a pair of panties over his face? It’s everything else that confuses me.

    Why is he wearing a bright blue bandanna around his neck that matches the weird blue arm band on his left arm? What’s with the lipstick? What’s the white mesh thing around the weird blue arm band about? And what does the series of black lines on his right sleeve mean?

    Is it odd that I only really want the last question answered?

    Matt… the blue arm band is a bandage a lot of shops reccomend for healing. Theyre awesome! Kinda acts like that paper underneath a steak in the market, haha Basically it pulls all the ickiness and moisture off the tattoo unlike sawran wrap and keeps it way cleaner. And from experience I can say that they flake/peel a lot less and heal faster too. 🙂

    #14: Matt the white mesh stuff is: http://www.bodyartpro.com/store/-p-99.html and I’m assuming the blue stuff on his arm is a form of bandage/wrapping. So it’s there because he has/had a fresh tattoo on his forearm.

    The black lines on his right sleeve is actually binary code, I forget what it means though.
