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.

You call yourself a Misfits fan?

Damn!!!! I really think this is the most intense facial tattoo I’ve ever seen in terms of radically transforming a person’s interaction with the rest of the world… and speaking as someone with a facial tattoo, I definitely feel like this is going to be a shock to his system. Very, very intense; I’m seriously impressed at the size of his FTW balls… Turning your face into a death mask is, just… wow…

    I would just like to say that this guy has a air of brass hanging and anyone who talks shit is just a lame-ass sheep that fallows the status quo of normalcy in modern day society so they can kiss my ass!

    Hmmm… I guess I wouldn’t hold it agaist him, but I dunno. What would you tell your kid… “Daddy just didn’t feel comfortable with his regular face, so he decided to be a skeleton for the rest of his life.”
    Not for me, but it was done well.

    The tattoo is really awsome, and it would take a big big hairy set to have that done, but what’s going to happen when the guy has kids or even grandkids? Imagine that nice tattoo in 20-30 years on a set of wrinkles and gray hair. Maybe he just should’ve used facepaint for a few weeks until he got over his urge.

    How will we know when he has died??? Or are we already too late….?
    Either way I would not care to share breakfast with him everyday.
    I suppose it’s better than being dead boring……………………… hehe

    I don’t really understand what’s so boundary pushing about this guy. The face tattoo thing has been done several times before (tiger guy, leopard guy, the enigma – off the top of my head and I’m not even a body modification fan).

    I think all you ‘balls of steel’ people are just preaching to the converted.

    He may get kudos from a very specific crowd. He may have very personal reasons for doing it (I really really hope so for his sake). But really, it’s nothing groundbreaking.

    I believe that in Canada you can get worker’s compensation if you have a facial tattoo due to it being harder to get work. (Someone look this up, probably just an urban myth.) Secondly, everybody assumes that you *have* to have a two storey house, a white picket fence, and a quiet commute home from the office every day. He could easily live doing odd work and spanging. If you want a 9 to 5er, good for you. Cover your sleeves and giggle at office jokes. Some people don’t.

    He will regret having this done. No doubt. Unless he can get some kind of lucrative, satisfying work based off being marked this way. Showbiz or freakshow or something.
