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.

Put a Ribbon Around It


Well hey, this is pretty cute! I’m not sure what the source material is, but according to the internets, there’s a whole lot of similar imagery out there. Few other pictures, however, feature a robot girl handing over her mechanical, tungsten-fed heart to a wide-eyed gentleman, so, score one for the microdermal enhancement.

    I NEVER said you should praise shit work… not once. What I said was, you should NOT BASH IT. If you don’t like something, keep your mouth shut. It takes a whole lot more effort to type up and post a degrading remark, when you could just cruise on by and not put your rude opinion out there. Presenting a united front does not mean praising everyone’s tattoos; it means speaking up when you like something and shutting up when you don’t.

    30-> Pointing out a bad tattoo to make the person realize it’s bad? First of all.. they could WANT it to look like that, you have no idea what their personal intention was when getting the tattoo. And secondly, if someone publicly degraded my tattoos.. they would be the last people I would take advice from about getting it touched up.

    31-> I’m pretty sure I don’t need to do any research, seeing as how I currently work in a well respected tattoo shop and am, in fact, heavily modified. Ass.

    I love the crappiness of this! With the chickenscratch lettering as well, it looks like it’s supposed to be that shitty. Love it!

    I beleive Jordan wanted to highlight the use of microdermals to augment a tattoo piece, plain and simple. I like the concept, but would like to see this be rendered better. It has potential.

    Also, I’d love to see more weird/interesting genital mods. I feel there has been too much “pretty people” posting. Wouldn’t it be a very neat idea to occasionnally show some modified people’s professionnal lives? The ones that don’t just pierce or tattoo, to see the wide range of opportunities we DO have… Just gotta be the best at what you do, someday mods or no mods, it won’t matter to the general public. 🙂
