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.

Almost healed

Steve Truitt (Stay Gold, Albuquerque, NM — but given how regularly he’s featured here I’m sure you know that by now!) has been slowly sculpting *Stitch* (this piece was posted fresh as well) into a scarified dreamgirl. Seriously, the number of gorgeous people, male and female, who are now choosing scarification as their dominant personal artform grows all the time… I love it!

    I think the scars work really well with her body.

    wow. that was waaay too much discussion about her body type. I don’t know what her lower half looks like (although i might like to) but we have virtually identical body types as far as what i can see in the picture. I’m not anorexic, but i have a small waist, small cup size, and my ribs are visible when i arch my back like that as well.
    I think she’s beautiful. Post more, shannon!

    What a dumbshit argument going on in here!
    Stitch has a body full of gorgeous modifications – HEYY that’s why she was featured in ModBlog, I bet!!
    If anyone of any other body type had comparible mods, I’m sure they’d be featured in her space.
    Any offers up?
    That said, personally, I think Stitch is gorgeous.
    I met her last year in Vegas and was astounded at how teensy she is.
    She’s just tiny!
    She doesn’t look unhealthy. She’s just really really little!

    ok, so stitch, ive loved your work since the first time i ever saw it, and im gonna play devils advocate here. granted, ive seen girls with one or two mods that are barely mods on here that got featured, and the pics barely showed the small piercing as is. but ive also seen plenty or curvy girls get featured on here, and there far from ugly. and i also have to agree that alot of them on here are skinnier and that shannon may be a selective guy. but ive seen almost all the photos on here and there arent many curvy girls to feature, not because they dont have great mods, but because they dont send in pics. ive seen a fair amount of the curvys get featured and i lov ethe work.

    and dont rat on stitch cause shes tiny, shes not anorexic, shes a damn proud mother so she can have a baby without splitting her “twig body” in half.

    oh, stigmata, your dumb 🙂 just figured id throw that in there too
