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.

Cat Collaboration Cutting

Rumiko had the brilliant scarification duo of Ryan Ouellette and Wayde Dunn do this collaboration skin removal in the shape of a cat during their receit soirée to Japan. The inset photo is fake by the way — I was wondering roughly what the piece would look like in five to ten years and the scar is lighter than the skin rather than brighter. The scar in the big photo (real) is sixteen days old.

    This is really nice. I think I’d like to see it with some tattooing added to add highlights or something. I guess I just love the look of combined scarification and tattooing.

    One thing that always makes me laugh is that a lot of people choose scarification, which is seen as quite extreme and bloody, to draw cute things over their skin ^^
    I really like this piece by the way, it looks great.
