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.

Infinity brand

This large electrocautery brand is freshly done in this photo, by Shawn O’Hare at Fillmore Tattoo and Piercing in Fillmore, CA. Visually I love the placement, but depending on the way she scars it might be hard to get it to heal evenly… (Note for the not-sharp-eyed: check out the microdermals too!).

    I love where this is, but i keep thinking that once it’s healed it’s going to impede movement.

    Oh man, that’s going to be a bitch when he heals movement wise, if it heals evenly :\
    I send lots of luck. Cool idea, though…

    oh gawd – that looks so unpleasant – i don’t know anatomy as much as those two posters above, but it just seems like a poor idea to get branding over places that have such a broad range of movement…

    #25, if you look at her other side it looks like she had some clavicle surface piercings so I’m guessing those are the scars you are seeing underneath the intentional one.

    Could the unevenness of the brand be because its in fact a true mobius strip, not an oversimplifed infinity symbol?

    I seriously love your comments..I really want to know how many of you have had laser/electro cauterary branding done before you made your “medical” opinions known about healing and how much it sucks. I have had 7 sittings for laser branding and it does suck BUT the healing over my knee joint WAS NOT more painful than over my thigh. They all fucking hurt. My brands have healed completely even AND they are my entire right side body..if you have some laser brands (NOT thermal) and are then making comments hey thats fine, but otherwise you have no fucking idea.
