Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

There were four people in the performance, all had hooks inserted into their backs (by a qualified professional), the gloves were worn as everything is sterilised before use for hygiene.
Some of the other images I took are a bit more graphic, but I prefer the look of these.
The image with the subject smoking a ciggy is funny, he was as relaxed as he looked. Apparently little pain is felt as all equipment is surgical steel, not big fish hooks as some may think.
And the reason they do it...... ???

what makes someone a qualified professional to do THAT?

What is the point of using sterilized equipment, when there has been no appropriate surgical skin preparation done?

I have had to sew up people with psychiatric self mutilating disorders, but none after they had put on a show...

They are a qualified team who own and run a peircing studio.
And to correct you, the skin was surgically cleaned before any equipment was used, and again after the equipment was removed.
The people shown do not have mutilating disorders.
I displayed the images for C&C on the photography, not the subjects...!!

Sorry, I didnt mean to have a go at your participants, I certainly didn't intend to suggest that they had mutilating psych disorders either.

The comment abou the skin prep was made due to the fact that the most effective skin preparation agents leave a coloured residue on the skin that wasnt aparent in your shots...

I am sorry that I directed my comments towards anything other than c&c...

It is amazing he can do this, great shots too.

The B&W treatment suits it well, where do I find these people, I have a couple of down right pricks I would like to do this to.

Great shots Marty - the unusual-ness of them is very appealing. I could never imagine getting hooked on something like this though :wink:
