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.

Give him a hand

Not to be outdone, Anders the Piercing Guy, also known as Alienboy over on IAM, also submitted some interesting scars over the weekend.  This one in particular caught my eye as hand scars are always a little tricky to pull off.

Thanks to Anders’ skill this cutting turned out great.  If you want to see how the scar came into being, there are quite a few procedural shots up in his BME portfolio gallery.

    lol i always comment on Facebook tattoo images that seem ridiculous and shot straight on, the ones that look extremely flat, why do i believe people do this is because there is a project in media design for students to apply tattoos realistically and believably. for example people with gigantic eyeball tattoos on there backs, i hate those the most. nyways this is is really awesome, and it looks very rewarding in the end congrats.
