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.

Fingered by Skullboy

Veronika was kind (and drunk) enough to send in these recent photos of Skullboy (more on ModBlog.. 1, 2).

Rick reads and then gives his verdict on a recent magazine article about himself.

Oh and yes, he does smile in case you were wondering..

Skullboy and Veronika.

    I don’t know what is more funny, Bradly’s original comments, or the fact that people took them seriously and responded.

    I like how when he smiles, it breaks the lines and you can see what is there, him, behind the “skull boy.”

    Also I do sympathize if he regrets small things getting in the way. I’ve no real standing to speak I guess, having no tattoos myself, but I’m not such a fan of the “sketchbook” look myself, and I’ve heard in various places people regretting having that “random things sort of just put where there was room” later, when they went for larger pieces.

    So, I think it’s a GOOD answer for “why should I not get (random small spur of the moment tattoo in a prominent place)” to say “well, if you want something nice and large later, it might get in the way…”

    Coming from me, of course, that answer sometimes gets strange looks.

    Man. Seriously, are you people really up in arms about me correcting his spelling? I’m a bit of a pendant when it come to such things, but I really can’t stand to see easy words misspelled. Its just shameful that the future is in the hands of the illiterate.

    And Akibare, I think saying such things is an obvious sign that you are thinking hard about your tattoo(if you are planning on getting one), which is hardly a bad idea/crazy. Everybody kept pressuring me into getting a tattoo asap, but I waited until I was sure, and I made absolute sure it wasn’t something I’d regret. Now I have it and its beautiful and awesome. It’s an octopus on my calf. For my next tattoo, I know for sure that I want a squid on my arm. As a friend once put it, keeping with a theme is important. I’m with you on the whole sketchbook thing, but I know there are tons who disagree. To each his own.

    You’ve got two major mistakes there, sister. Take a closer look. And you’re correcting the spelling of an obvious troll who is no doubt delighted to be getting your goat. Give it a rest.

    This is too, too easy.

    Emaline: you’re a PEDANT, not a PENDANT. As in “As I corrected the aspiring pedant’s usage, I admired the pendant hanging about her neck.” If you actually are a pedant, you’re clearly not a thorough one…yet.

    Picking at grammar on the Internet: “I’m in ur barrel, shootin ur fish.”

    It looks like the tattoo – especially the nose and some of the teeth have faded quite a bit…

    So.. is he famous for making appearances at a certain location in Montreal? I’d love to have a few beers with the guy and hang out, he seems pretty fun. Not to sound gay or anything, he just looks/sounds like a pretty awesome guy. Not very intellectual it seems, but like I said, he seems fun to hang out with.

    So yeah, anyone? I don’t mean that in a stalker way btw, he’d probably kick my ass. But if he guest spots somewhere every few weeks or whatever I’d love to say what’s up or something.

    he really needs to take the black around his eyes up to the edge of his eyelids. this is possible, just look at lucky diamond rich. it would make the whole skull look so much better. other than that, good work fella!

    right on zombie! your inkworks anything but fugly; dude its fuckin awesome! I’m 32 & I got my face heavily covered with some awesome inkwork 10 years ago; I planned it out realising it will be a complete change in how I live my life, and it has been just that. I made the right decision for myself and the experience has given me satisfaction that I never would have had if I never had it done because I was worried about getting a job or what people will think; fuck ‘em all!
