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.

    I don’t know much about scarification and/or branding, but I’m assuming you pick the scabs for a more profound scar?

    This was actually an accidental release of the scab if I remember right.

    Oh man. I can look at most ModBlog entries without even blinking, but this… arrgh. It sent shivers up my spine.

    On the flipside, I think it’ll look fantastic when it’s healed.

    Scarification is great to mark places where usually normal tattoos would fade easily
