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.

To be

The title for this entry was the caption arkangel666 used with this photo. She looks a little sad to me but maybe she’s just contemplating life. No artist credit given for any of the mods however I think it’s worth just sitting back and appreciating the view in this case.

    I don’t know why, but I always love implants on un-tattooed arms. I guess it just seems a slight bit odd to me that someone hasn’t been heavily tattooed, THEN implanted. But I love it anyway.

    I am not a big lover of implants but these look nice. She complements her modifications well.

    Implants have always weirded me out… I think it’s just because I’m not a fan of thinking about something that large being put under my skin… I like the stars, though. 🙂 Not a big fan of her other arm…

    For some reason her hair makes her look like a mermaid, even though her legs and feet are plainly visible. Beautiful photo.

    Those stars definitely look interesting under the skin. I love implants, though generally not ones in shapes of things. I prefer just bars or lumps. Also I agree with Mandic it’s definitely a bit strange seeing someone who is relatively unmodified with implants, not that it’s a bad thing, just different.

    I’d like to add it’s not a medusa piercing – it’s a Jestrum piercing, a piercing I’ve wanted for a very long time…

    I love the asymmetrical-ness of her lip piercings and the fact she has no tattoos… This really is a stunning photo.

    dean, they do look a little off, but it might be a trick of the eye, but implants do and can move, its to be expected even if when put in they are bang on even

    oh gandy im aware they do shift, its sad sometimes to see them shift (though sometimes how they shift can make the whole effect look nicer) just one of those things you can never fully control to a great extent as we can never go a day without accidently knocking things and causing shifting or damage..

    I myself have heavy facial tattoos that need touching up as they healed patchy due to me catching my face alot during the healing process…sad days lol

    She’s gorgeous. I’m generally not a fan of implants, but I love the look of the stars. Wish I could see more definition on her left arm implants, though.
