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.

Serendipity

My favorite thing about this photo of Efix that FREE took at the 2007 Milan Tattoo Convention is the expression on the guy’s face in the background!

    He’s probably wondering if his baguette would fit through Efix’s very nicely stretched ear piercings.

    Does he have subdermals on his left arm under each green circle, or is that just me?

  9. smurf Avatar

    Lovely sleeves.
    @8 I agree… it looks like he has subdermals under them, but I have no idea if he does or not.

    Don’t let go of that sandwich dude! It might run away.

    MUTE-ONE definately is right on with that observation… but it also looks like he’s revving up to hit Efix over the head with it!

  27. reptilian Avatar

    hahaha, he’s going to smack picture-boy with a sandwich… that’s awesome

    Kai, Efix has some awesome half dome underneath his tattoo… I really like the picture, but it’s not doing justice to the Amazing job from Jay!

    I saw him in a tattoo mag at work a while ago! Haha, he’s really cute, and reminds me a little of a more badass Chris Carrabba. I’d be happy if guys that looked like that lived around Sarasota FL.

    he’s cute! the guy in the background looks like he’s afraid his sandwich will be stolen. and the tag placement is very subtle, i had to look for it for a really long time.

  41. Efix Avatar

    well, thank you all! I guess it’s time for credits!
    My arms were done by the amazing Jay Marceau (www.d-markation.com), the implants were self-done although they are barely noticeable on this picture, I even have some on my hands and more will be added.. and the T-shirt is by a small Canadian clothing companie named AVIVE.
