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.

Feeling Cheeky

There’s something to be said for a girl with no other visible modifications other than a pair of cheek piercings.

From the looks of it SilyKim may only have a single ear piercing as well.  Regardless, cheek piercings like this are normally seen on people who have at least some other visible modifications, so it’s a rare treat to see them pulled off with a simple elegance like she does here.

    Very nice. Worn this way, it might help to get these kinds of less common mods more easily accepted by the public. I’d love to see more of those. I myself have a sole (streched) septum and I can only hope to pull it off as nicely as she does her cheeks.

    I gotta agree with Rob here, normally I only see cheek piercings on people whom I would consider over pierced. This is a rare treat indeed.

    Strangely enough, the only person I’ve known well who had cheek piercings had no other visible modifications, and only got a prominent chest scarification after ditching the cheek piercings.

    I always wondered how long you’d have to wear cheek piercings to develop cheek piercing ‘dimples’. I quite fancy some but I wouldn’t be able to get away with cheek piercings at work!
    they look stunning on her.
