BME: Body Modification Ezine

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.

Creative Nostril Project

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I wanted to share this creative and unique nostril project by Dana Dinius at HTC Body Piercing, Phoenix North. Another great example of taking a basic, accessible, mainstream set of piercings and turning them into something special that will turn the heads of both the jaded piercing elite and who don’t know the difference between a daith and a fourchette.

    That is awesome, but how in the hell do you get them that high? Are the top one/two dermals? Does not compute!

    Stick your finger up your nose to figure it out 🙂

    Could they be microdemals? Would microdemals on the part of the face even be practical/wearable?

    As for how they were done, I would wager not microdermals. The lower four would be normally pierced. I think the top one would have to be pierced pretty much vertically?

    I’m guessing those were done within minutes of this photo due to the watery eyes. When I pierced my septum I kept sneezing for about an hour right after it was done. Sometimes even now when I touch my ring I sneeze. Is that strange?
