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.

Micro Dusters..

So Nic can beat up micro things!

They’re five weeks old in these photos and were installed by Hugh Mattay, Tattoo Culture, Canberra, Australia.

    I like that the size of each micro is sized relative to the finger they’re on.
    I also like that they’re from Canberra. Those crazy, round-about- obsessed politicians!

    Oh wow, it’s my fingers. 🙂 I loved the knuckle microdermals. Of course they rejected.

    It’s true I couldn’t put my hand in my pocket but I thought about it for a couple of weeks before I got them and decided the thumb was an absolute no go, I could still use the pocket if I could get my thumb in there.

    They didn’t snag anywhere near as much as I was expecting, it really wasn’t until they started seriously rejecting that they started causing slight issues.

    They lasted a couple of months. Long enough for me to be as much in love with a mod as you can get. I miss them every day, my fingers look so plain without them.

    Oh, and Hugh is the best piercer in Canberra.

    I’ve got one knuckle microdermal. That’s enough…
    I pulled it out a couple of weeks ago. My mother picked my dermal from the floor, cleaned it with alcohol and placed it back in position. Soo freaky….
