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.

We Respond Before We Know How to Speak the Language


I admit it, alright? If I go more than a few days without posting a gorgeous cutting by Iestyn of Diamond Jacks Tattoo and Piercing in London (MORE), I can’t sleep. I get the cold sweats. It’s a bad scene. So believe me when I say, this is as much for me as it is for you.

And with that, we bid another day adieu. Sleep well, ModBlog.

    Love the skin removal, however I’m just weird this way, but the asymmetric nipple rings make me uneasy. Call it OCD if you will. Otherwise very nice.

    I’m also annoyed about this time references. As somebody said before, not everybody is in your time zone (I”m speaking also to Roo).

    I understand you must fill your post with something, but 2 out of 4 posts are either with Mornin’ or Good night.
    Boring and annoying.
