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.

I don’t care how many times I see them, deep chest piercings like these always leave me in awe. These were done by Roland at Visavajara in Freiburg, Germany, with custom-made black teflon jewelry by Oli. A bonus shot, after the jump.

    I always wonder how these and similar mods effect peoples day to day life.. like this one, I can’t imagine being able to lift things and carry big things, because they’d easily get knocked etc.

    It’s a shame these never heal 100% (not even Fakir’s) since they look so damn awesome.
