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.

Self made symmetry

I love the symmetry and simplicity of this picture, it really showcased her (mostly self done) piercings well.

These paired nostril piercings on Skittles5000 were self pierced at an 18 gauge and self stretched up to the 2 gauge you see here, the septum was self pierced at a 14 gauge and then stretched to a 0gauge.

    I think self done piercings are underrated. She did it quite well and she pulls it off beautifully.

    You know what Pixol? Not everyone has a great camera or access to people who want to photograph them. Instead they do their best with what they have! That doesnt mean they dont have awesome mods.

    Yay Skittles5000, your piercings are awesome!

    and not everyone takes pics, knowing they’ll be on modblog, they take a pic, up it on their IAM page, or on bme and it might get put on modblog if who ever is doing modblog likes it, not so much if its a good pic or not.

    get some one to take photos for you, use proper lighting, and try the auto focus it helps. Cameras now-a-days also have timers and handheld remote controls to operate the them from a distance. people get creative with your images.
