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.

The Crack in the Sky


I can already hear the odd complainer arguing that this picture shouldn’t be here because, oh no, he only has a single lip piercing! That’s not worthy of ModBlog! Well, allow me to retort: Yes, yes it is. And when that lip piercing is being worn by a gentleman in the midst of what is clearly a glorious metal photo shoot? You better believe that’s going on ModBlog. Ten points to anyone who comments using only Mastodon lyrics.

    Sir, Sir, I’m sorry sir, but I must inform you that your rings are ever so slightly ridiculous. Beautiful face though. Also whatever you’re pulling away from your face looks like fruticose lichen.

    That guy went to my high school! He’s definitely metal and a cool guy. Dana from Adorn did my ear piercings too and he is a great piercer!

    That lip piercing is dead on and shiny. I like. I wish modblog featured more iam members though (and linked to their page of course) . How are we supposed to stalk this guy…I mean…build relationships?

    Not a bad looking guy.

    Ps. I saw a Mastodon poster in the Hot Topic window last week. Not cool.

    People actually claim that “only a single lip piercing” isn’t worthy of ModBlog? Oh please. If a person has NO MODIFICIATIONS then it’s probably not worthy of ModBlog. This guy has a modification. GTFO!
