I saw Circus of the Damned. It was ummm... Pass-out-tastic!

That would be what is called, in the body modification community, "suspension". It dates back to *very* early tribal days as religious rituals, coming of age things, etc.

I am pretty surprised that there are public performances. Usually they just have private little groups doing it for themselves. Some do it for religious reasons, some do it for the way it looks (not everyone has the same idea of what is beauty), some like the way it feels, etc. You might even be surprised who is involved with these things!

To each their own.

This wasn't overly public so too speak. The club is strict as you have to be in dress code to enter.. Either Goth, BDSM, or whatever the theme is. You gotta pay to get in. You gotta be 19+ as its an adult club.

I like piercings & tats, but that was a little to much for me.

Looks like it's straight out of a freak show at the State Fair.
Yuck. I wouldn't go if they paid me.

I had no idea who they were & neither did any of my friends... its a club I go to & they were the extra entertainment as it was the 10yr anny for the place... there was no entertainment last month & there is none next month... which is FINE BY ME!! I like the enviroment (ok there are a few nut bags there, like that old dude in a skirt, Corset & had a 10" beard LOL), many of the people & the music...

I've watched shows like that on tv before. I find it oddly fascinating so I'd probably go once just out of curiosity. I've like horror movies all my life so I don't think the blood would bother me.

I've seen it on tv & had no issues with it.. but in real life its a totally different thing!

I really don't think it would bother me. I also like watching that new show on MTV, Scarred. Some of those videos make you cringe but it's entertaining to see how stupid people can be, too.
