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.

“Face Technology”

Lukas Zpira recently did this facial skin removal — you can click through to get a closeup image as well. That reminds me, I have (much less intense) facial cuttings by Lukas (done in Mexico) that I really need to write an experience about!!!

    Pretty — but I feel for the poor guy as he heals it and tries to keep it covered and free of infection-causers!

    For the commentary on dueling scars and how not a whole lot of people seem to get them done, I’ve been tempted to get something akin to the scar Orlando Bloom has at the end of Kingdom of Heaven. (I think it was an axe wound? Either way. The one just below the corner of his left eye.)

    On the subject of the photo though.. Both very nice mods. Though something just kind of strikes me as odd with the tattooed eyebrows.. But that’s just me, I suppose.
