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.

    Hitsugi! It’s a surprise to see him here!
    But his piercings couldn’t have been done in Sapporo… He’s from Kansai, and now living in Tokyo. He never lived in Sapporo (or in Hokkaido), I don’t get why he would have get all of his piercings in Sapporo.
    I think the person who send you this pic gave you wrong informations.

    Sorry for my poor english >_<

    I don’t like the fact that the eyebrow piercing doesn’t go under any hair, so to say. The part that was pierced is hairless…not so great.

    3) that’s not Miyavi
    4) Should’ve posted Seek, he has moar holes in his face.

    Yeah, that’s DEFINITELY NOT Miyavi. It’s Hitsugi, from Nightmare.

    And you think the rejecting eyebrow is bad? You should see how bad Mao from Sadie let a surface piercing reject before he took it out. It was absolutely terrible.

    Sculla -why does the picture piss you off? Is it because the person is androgynous? If so, you might want to ask yourself why you feel the need to categorize people. What difference does it make if the person is male or female?
