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.

Awesome Haircut

OK, I admit I can’t think of a real “ModBlog excuse” to post this picture, but got a kick out of it and thought you would too. It’s from Lital in Israel, who writes, “…the coolest kid in Koh Phangan, Thailand.”

    I think shaped hairstyles- and hell, haircuts/coloring period- certainly fall under body modification. What a cute kid, at any rate!

    every kid should have a mohawk if they want one. It’s hair. it grows back. My son gets one every summer and keeps it as long as he keeps grades up and doesn’t get in trouble in school.

    Beckolyn- there’s nothing wrong with the puppy’s face, its just turned away from the camera and part of the white tub thing is right there. wow, that was great English, lol.

    haha, i saw that somewhere else a while ago. Never expected it to show up here. But hey, that’s the internet!

    Awe!! Yeah, little kids should be able to do whatever with their hair if they are obediant. My little brother still sports a trihawk… As soon as his grades go below C’s my mom shaves it off.

    I think the puppy’s cuter than the kid, but maybe that’s just me. I love puppies.

    I’d argue as well that a haircut counts as a body mod, just a radically less permanent one.

    Sweet hair! I love how they did it up with bands so it would stay up. Thats actually a rally go idea for people who don’t feel like spiking thier hawk every morning.

  24. Rice and Bread Avatar

    Awesome hair, i should do that with my hawk. Also, the mod blog excuse is that the guy in the background has a tattoo on his arm, and/or if the dog has been fixed.

    To Silverflame: Thanks, I see that the puppy is in fact normal now, but I also still see disfigured puppy (because I’m weird…). Thanks for clarifying it though. LOL

    People modify their bodies for various reasons. One of those reasons is expression through style. Even though the kids hair isn’t “permanent” – it’s still an external expression of the internal………of the parents.

    i second that!
    i thought the same when i took this photo.
