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.

Eyelid Scarification

I think this is the first intentional cutting that traverses the full eyelid that I’ve seen, or at least that my jumbled memory recalls. Viper‘s wife did this cutting on him with a knife at their home in Scotland. You know, now that I re-read the email it doesn’t actually say “intentional”… Viper, if you need me to call the domestic abuse services to keep you safe, let me know. 😉

    I like it, but you did post another scarification a while ago with a comment to the effect of: “I’m amazed they had the balls to go over the eyelid”

    Though I s’pose that was a brand, not a cutting. I’ll stop stealing the comment space now.

    What happens if a nasty keiloid grows out of control on the eyelid? I’m picturing not being able to open the eye… or maybe the keiloid will contort the lid and make it impossible to fully close. Yikes.

    But for now, I think it looks friggin sweet!
