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.

Skull and Crossbones DESTROY chestpiece

I think you already know I like this piece and photo (since it was a BME cover), but I wanted to feature it again by higher resolution. It’s on Corpsed by Mythical Markings in Knoxville, TN.

    I would never have somethign like that done myself – But it looks great on him. I esp love the shading in the skull and crossbones compared to the bold, black writing.
