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.

Deep Chest Piercing Update


We last posted about these deep chest piercings by Roland at Visavajara in Freiburg, Germany, about a month ago when they were fresh, and here we have an update after four weeks of healing or so. The piercings definitely look a little angry around the edges, but this is not an easy procedure to heal. Nice to see he’s stuck with it, though, and I’m sure we’re all curious to see if they can heal to the point that they can be worn “permanently.” Another shot, after the jump.

    I think women are at a fairly large risk for mastitis with this type of piercing.

    Deep chest are one of my fantasy piercings so I really hope it works out long term 🙂

    I’m still trying to imagine how the procedure was done, but John Kramer keeps jumping in the picture….

    Anyway, I assume there must have been quite some sacrifices involved in those 4 weeks. Wow…

    To number 22, England invented the internet, don’t get cocky. The only major invention that america has done in the last 100 years is skimmed milk. And these look very angry, I suppose if he had a thicker layor fat it would heal better?

    These are quite impressive. Fakir does have deep ones like this (for a very long time now!), so I’m assuming these are indeed achievable, though admittedly way to hardcore for most people, including me!

    It seems like their being extremely large gauge is a good thing, since they’re straight and exiting the skin at a tangent, not perpendicular like the ends of surface bars. If they were skinnier there might be more tension on the skin.
