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.

That Beautiful Bump


And here we have Philadelphia’s own Shan, there in the foreground, sporting nightmarish 2 3/4-inch bling tunnels with some poor woman’s head trapped inside for all eternity, we assume. She’s crying for help in a futile effort to free herself, but no, this will be the extent of her fishbowl existence. This is pretty much the worst mushroom trip we’ve ever had, basically.

    Me and my girlfriend went to infinite the other day to buy some new jewelry and they were so rude and condescending to us that we walked out extremely disappointed, with no jewelry!

    personally, i’ve never had a bad experience with anyone at infinite, other than one of the piercers who’s a bit abrasive. but the people who work there are usually really helpful as long as you go in there knowing what youre talking about or willing to consider their advice… not to say that you werent like that, but i swear that infinite is really an awesome place!

    The only people I have ever heard of having a bad experience at Infinite are people that don’t know what they are talking about, don’t listen to educated advice, and feel like they should be pandered to.
