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.

Scarred Wings

These skin removal chestpiece wings were done about a week apart, her right side being freshly cut in this photo, and the left the week before. This ultraclean removal was done by Verno at Holy Mackerel/Visual Addiction in St. Paul, MN. The central star looks like it’s been keloiding very evenly, so I imagine these will look great when they’re done!

    Too bad I’m too much of a sissy to try that because it is beautiful!

    Before I read the entry I thought my eyes were messed up. The different stages of healing makes the image look like they are in different focuses. Like the left side (our left) looks almost 3-d and the right side looks fuzzier.

    That’s amazing. I’m too much of a wuss to get any scarification done. I’d be too worried that it wouldn’t scar nicely.

    It’s gorgeous…though it doesn’t look quite even. But it could be the different stages of healing decieving me. Work like this really tempts me to get some scarification done.
