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.

Robot

This cutting of a cute flower-offering robot by Ben at Future Skin in Ottawa, Canada, on Infested is going to distract her from the terrifying onset of the upcoming human robot apocalypse.

    I always find the juxtaposition of cuttings and cute imagery fascinating. To me (and I realize it’s just me) there’s a barbarism to the appearance of a fresh cutting that tattoos and piercings don’t have. Cute imagery just doesn’t quite fit with that.

    Healed, though, this will look pretty darned cool.

    It’s a heart that will soon be a flesh removal. It is now all healed and just waiting to have the heart removed. I am also having a girl robot done on the other side.
