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.

You Just Toss the Ball, Catch it in the Cup


Does anyone else look at this surface weaving job by Damien at Outer Rim Body Mod in British Columbia and think of these? No? Really? Not at all? Hey, calm down, I jus— fine, I’ll leave, but please, stop yelling at me.

    thats very pretty – i’d be worried about the long term pressure on the piercings though – i think if the center spiral was flatter it would sit better? (did that make sense?)

    DeadlyPoison- yeah, that’s what I was thinking, too. If it was more gently curved so that it fit flat with the contour of the neck. It’s really gorgeous, but healed or not, I’m afraid that jewelry will either a. be a prime target for stuff to catch on and potentially pull and rip at the piercing, or b. exert too much pressure in the long term on the piercings and result in an equally bad situation.

    I do like this :]

    As for taking it out i think it will just be a case of sliding the jewelry to the right as the bar is quite long. It should leave it enough room to pop out on the left.

    the healing looks complete it is the artist who made the piece that is at fault, my suggestion find a better metalsmith and you will have a better product…there is a lot of undue pressure, as evidenced by the left side bulging out under the skin
