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.

    The following week was total hell, but 7 days later the skin had healed to the point where I no longer needed any form of bandage. My skin type doesn’t keloid that much, and Ron got the depth spot on, so it has actually healed rather flush to the skin and I can’t feel it in my normal course of motion. Hopefully Wayde will be coming back through town in the next year or so and we can knock out the rest of it, but as of now it still looks amazing.

    Yeah . This was a 6 hour session on its own. Wayde and myself will tag team it on his next run thru here. 2 blades are better than one.
