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.

Walk Beside Me and Be My Friend


Well-lit photo? Check. Interesting, healthy looking, well-placed piercings? Check. Hmm … so, what is the small faction of perpetual ModBlog nay-sayers going to complain about? I’m betting it’ll be critiques of the wallpaper or assertions that Syl20‘s bald head is clearly indicative of a deep-seated prejudice against the hirsute or something equally ridiculous and inane. Don’t let me down!

    I have a feeling the small bit of modblog that complains will be rather pleased with this picture. I know I am.

    Lets see, he’s of legal age(but that only matters of sexual pictures I suppose), he actually HAS mods, good quality picture, interesting content.. What is there not to like? I’d take this over preteen girls showing off their tongue piercings any day.

    Those piercings on the side of his neck look pretty interesting, like theyre pierced through the fold made by his head being angled that way…

    He has a swastika nazi symbol on his chest, possibly a mirrored image which means it’s close to his heart so at heart he is a nazi and those horns indicate also a devil. That tattoo on his cheek is probably lasered off so he can’t make good decisions and probably got it while intoxicated. On the other side of his chest is a pinup lady with an X over it so he is also a homo.

    First of all, I’m part of this community because into it I discovered people very open minded as much as I am. I was in choc when I red the comment of a certain ” Turkeylurkey ” Saying that I have a nazi symol on the chest when it’s more of a circle of the elements in the old PAGAN beleifs (four hearted celtic knots), and about that supposed pin-up tattoo on the left chest, it’s more of a anarchist holding down a black flag saying out loud that the governement doesn’ t have a complete hold of me, about the cheek, it’s a scarification of a tribal symbol, done “dry”, and I’m not obviously against gays, I’m into a hetero relationship and it goes perfectly thank’s, last, about the hornes, It’s only something that express how I feel about mainstream society, being an outsider, thanks to all others that apreciate the pic that was taken by a very good photografer Sarah DeVennes from Halifax, N.S. Canada, This pic mean how I feel about me being who I am, trying to be a better person every day.. IAMSyl20

    i’m honestly in awe. those are incredible mods and they look so healthy.

    thank you for posting this pic.

    also, the surface piercing right below his adams apple seems incredibly risky but the fact that it appears healthy speaks wonders of the care it was give.
