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.

    that’s what i was thinking.
    one machine poking at me is sufficient… however you’d be done a hell of a lot faster.

    Having a few artists work on you at one time is not as bad as you think. When you have a few people going at the same time, they tend to cancel eachother out. Paul Booth and Dan Marshall did a pc above my knee and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

    that’s intense…
    i think it would maybe be…well, not more comfortable, but the pain is all spread out, so maybe it’s easier not to concentrate on how much it hurts in just one spot.
    maybe.
