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.

    To 5 and 7: I COULD be wrong, but judging by the look of the exit points of the piercing, this piercing IS healed. I’m guessing the healing wasn’t done with this piece of jewellery though.

    I do agree that the jewellery doesn’t quite sit perfectly within the piercing though, which doesn’t bode well for the eventual longevity of the piercing.

    MrPibb – Beauty is beauty regardless of the source. Try to enjoy the piece for itself, as something totally separate from the person who created it. I like it because it’s the most interesting nape system I’ve seen. Kudos, neo-nazi. Your politics are outdated and ridiculous, but you do good work.

    I assumed looking at this that it was inserted into two already-healed surface piercings… cos that doesn’t look like a fresh piercing to me, to the people who are sniping about healing XD Very pretty!

    That looks pretty awesome. I agree with 14, it looks already healed for the most part. I couldn’t imagine doing this on someone with long hair like me though, I’d be so afraid my ponytail would catch in it and rip it out…..eek
