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.

Only in a fluid sharing relationship…

…would it ever be considered ok to take out someone’s hooks, clean them off and then see what piercings of yours they would fit into.

Kevin, who submitted these pictures had this to say:

My girlfriend and I the day after her performance suspension in Columbus, OH for the band Only Flesh.  After lovingly massaging the air from her back and cleaning her shark hooks, I played around by putting the hooks in everything I could, like my 6g labret as seen here.  This photo seems to show a lovely middle-ground between my piercing/stretching obsession and her affinity for ink.  I’m so glad we share the same affinity for body modification 🙂  Photo by Samantha Hodges.

PS: I believe those shark hooks he refers to are actually salmon hooks.

    If it’s a fluid sharing relationship, why even bother cleaning them off?
