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.

When in Doubt, Listen to Samppa


Sayeth the gentleman pictured above:

At first I wanted to have five implants, but then I received an e-mail from Samppa saying that six would be much cooler, so he gave me the sixth transdermal for free! Thanks again, Samppa!

(Transdermal implants by Samppa at Max Max Tattoo and Piercing, lobes by Rob at Rings of Pleasure.)

    I’m always amazed at how flush with the skin surrounding transdermals on heads is. It always seems like it might bulge a bit since the skin is so thin there but it doesn’t. Looks great.

    I feel like shaving around those would be the biggest chore ever.
    I love his eyes and such a handsome nose, I’m glad he chose to accent them with those piercings.
