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 heart Komando

OK, these are actually posts I’d planned for yesterday, so if I can squeeze in some more time to type, expect another batch later today or if not certainly tomorrow.

Anyway, I think I’ve mentioned here before what a big fan I am of Komando‘s modifications… I just love these big facial cuts she had done by Manny in Buenos Aires, Argentina!

    Those are really great. Makes me want to run my hand over them just to feel their texture.

    It’s a traditional South American look; I assume it is a reference to that style.

    Well I just spent a decent amount of time browsing through the scarification pages, and I want to say that you people amaze me. Though I dont think I could go through it (though I do have a tatoo) I think its extreamly facinating. Sorry you have to take occasional ridicule ( in the later pages i came across some comments that were more disturbing then the pictures they were describing).

    Take care all!
