Like a drug trip: Set and Setting are Essential

Yesterday I posted Fabito’s Petropolis suspension, but I love the set that they found — an abandoned and run-down ski-lift — so much so that I wanted to also share Helena‘s first suspension experience which took place there, by Valnei, with Joao’s help as well. Two more photos: shot in less contrast, closer shot of Helena.

SICK

Awwwwwright, I tried to make a nice big update* so I can take the weekend off. The first of my surgieries is on Monday so I won’t be posting then (unless I post some narcotic-filled ravings when I get home if I’m released that same day — laugh it up if I do!), but it’s supposed to be a non-issue recovery so I don’t see why I wouldn’t post next week as normal other than that. Anyway, like Sickgirl13 says, “even freaks can be sick” (knuckle tattoos by Peter Klegues at Casa De Xiva in Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil).

* Actually, Im not totally telling the truth — the update is actually going to auto-post a bit of itself over the next three days as well, rather than all arriving today.

Precision Implants

Thanks to implant work by Howie (lunacobra.net), Pauly is now crying hearts (a week old in that photo, so it’s a little bruised), and Little John is hearing hearts. Implants on the surface of the ear are about as rare as they come, due I’m sure in no small part to the potential of both immediate complications, and future risks (don’t take up boxing, John!) because of the sensitivity of the tissue to damage.
