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.

I don’t think that’s where that goes!

Enemy sent in this photo of himself.  From what I gather, the piercings were all completely self done.  His lobes are at 7/8 and his septum is at 7/16.  I wanted to post the photo because high nostrils don’t come in very often.  I want to say this is still a fairly uncommon piercing but given where I live, I’m not sure if that’s accurate or simply my perception.   What about you, ModBloggers?  Would you say this is uncommon or do you see high nostrils with some frequency where you live?

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that he doesn’t normally wear what appears to be a piece of pipe a sharpie in his septum and that this was just for the photo.

    I think it’s a piece of a hollowed out Sharpie in his septum. 😛

    I’ve never seen anyone around where I live with high nostrils. Or anything outside the realm of ‘normal/average’ piercings… I’ve only seen someone with multiple facial piercings (cheeks, 3 labrets, eyebrows, probably a few more…) in real life once and I wasn’t even at home then… >.<

    sometimes i feel like i live in a bubble being on IAM and BME. i seem to forget how few people there really are in our ‘community’ unless i go to some areas in Seattle. i dont think i have seen high nostrils in person, yet…there is a chick in my town (or she at least visits, and comes to my work when she does) with an eyelid piercing, which im sure even less people have seen in person than high nostrils haha.

    I have a high nostril, above my regular one. they look like a line of dots, but everywhere i go everyone is so amazed that i have it. it doesnt turn heads in the shops here and when im with the community but even among them i cant remember seeing one. i just think it may not be that “popular”. too bad for them, its pretty awesome
