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 guess there’s more than one puzzle guy!

“Long story,” he writes. What’s funny is that the Enigma‘s puzzle tattoos, if I remember right, are actually a rather short story! Anyway, enjoy today’s updates here and BME as well, and I’ll have more tomorrow including more historical pieces (I just didn’t have time today, sorry).

Oh yeah, and for those of you who are prudish, a warning: I think there may be more dirty pictures in today’s update than usual. Not that I expect many complaints.

    I agee with the above comment, they all look the same. Its a great idea to have a jigasw tattoo, and it does look awesome, but I think it would have put the icing on the cake if the pieces had all been different!

    nah, they all seem square but the lil feet bit or whatever they’re called change some. then even so, all being kind of square gives it a more consistant, ‘uniform’ look, to it to me at least. I like it!

    uuh, i got on modblog 🙂 well, ill share the short version here:
    i got interested in tattoos a long time ago when i saw enigma in a magazine, so its also a kind of thanks to him for helping him “finding myself”, and i also had a very hard childhood but at last it seems that every part of my life fits together and everything is going good now. so its kind of like note to myself to keep it all together and dont fall apart.
    i thought about having irregular edges to, but i finally decided to keed it straight and easy, i also like the kind of “web” look on it.

    I’m sure Enigma has some scar work over his puzzle pieces, but I don’t think he has any ‘pieces’ removed.
