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.

Macrophenomenal


Not much to add to this handsome close-up photo featuring piercings by Ryan Ouellette at Precision Body Arts in Nashua, New Hampshire.

Actually, here’s something to add…

…another lovely close-up piercing shot! This one-day-old horizontal eyebrow piercing comes to us from Verona, Italy. You know, I love the more “extreme” submissions we get, but there’s still something very satisfying about relatively simple, well-executed, well-photographed piercings.

    Are those anchors in the first picture’s cheeks? they don’t seem to pucker the way cheek piercings usually do.

    Not a fan of the mustache. Everything else looks great though.

    Beautiful, both of them.

    This seems like as good a place to ask as any; I’ve been contemplating this a little while but don’t know who to ask. Is there any average cut off size for a labret piercing shrinking back to nearly normal?

    The first picture would be good if he didn’t have a DTM.

    PBA has the greatest bumper stickers. I picked one up last year at the Boston Tat Convention. Lets just say it has something to do with two in the pink, one in the stink!

    Too much eye makeup = thumbs down. she has pretty eyes and it just distracts from them a lot.

    First guy needs a shave, but I like the smallish labret size and the cheek piercings/microdermals. They look good together.

    Same with the eyebrow. I prefer it to the regular eyebrow piercings.
