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.

Silver in Show


Well that was a fun day, no? Pretty people, a cute puppy, and the glorious return of the Fire Joe Morgan-style article takedown; as far as I’m concerned, a day like that deserves a crown on top. Now, I know I had to eat some shit the last time I posted a photo of a microdermal augmenting a tattoo, but I think this piece is a little more nicely executed, and maybe makes a bit more sense conceptually. Wear it well, ModBloggers.

Until tomorrow.

    Though I don’t really like the crown tattoo in itself, I find it a bit boring, I do really like the use of microdermals to jazz it up!

    Dear Jordan,

    I think you do an excellent job of maintaining this blog. Even if there is a lack of “interesting” stuff, it’s hardly your fault. Hell, what do people want? I am constantly pleased by ModBlog content and enjoy both the good and bad. We need the bad to appreciate the good.

    Please continue being awesome.

    “Toledo, Ohio? Or Toledo, Spain?”

    look at the shop/artist’s names. do you really need to ask?

    i wouldn’t like this tattoo without the microdermals, but it looks nice with them.

    Regardless of linework, I like the the placement (between the two portraits…obviously the lady has some big hair and the positioning of the crown is centred between the faces themselves) and the microdermals. i think it’s a nice touch.

    I agree with Dangerbtich! Now y’all are going as far as ripping into people for their grammar and spelling. I can go to immature comedy website with videos of people getting hurt, fucked, or stoned to see these comments. I thought we were above this. I thought we were supposed to be open-minded people trying to DISprove the stereotypes that we modified people deal with daily.
