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.

Throw Something Back


A while back, we featured this scarification by Ryan at Precision Body Arts in Nashua, New Hampshire — at the time, it was about three months old. The shot above is about two years later — the color has lightened, obviously, but the way it’s retained its shape and texture is pretty stellar.

    Ryan is the best. I will never ever go to anyone else to get work done, and he’s done all my piercings. Anyone in our area needs to visit his shop. This is definitely one of my favorite pieces by him.

    That healed so beautifully. I prefer it now that it’s white, it’s more subtle but it still jumps out at you.

    So I gotta be honest
    most of the times
    scarification kinda sends a shiver up my spine
    not sure why
    past experiences and stuff

    but anyways,
    Regardless I think that this is amazing
    I really love it
