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.

    I can’t tell what his implants are supposed to be, but I like his blackwork

    I’m not normally a fan of blackwork (unless it’s really heavy in which case it’s awesome) but this looks really nice, especially on his hand.

    Wow, that’s really beautiful. Both arms look quite nice, although I’m partial to the blackwork.

    i don’t particularly like implants – they remind me of Von Recklinghausen’s Disease, i think. i really like the boldness and simplicity of the blackwork – it’s very striking!

    The blackwork on his hand is very nice. So is the stretched navel.

    …cet homme est la rencontre de l’art, la technique et l’individuation. Encore une fois, j’ai grand respect envers ton processus.

    The photography is gorgeous: makes him look
    quite intriguing.

    I have no tatoos yet, but I’m on the list at Stanford for a liver transplant and after that heals up I’m gonna get the scar tatooed. It’ll be a damn big scar, so I’m considering a lot of possibilities.
