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.

Horny, beady-eyed dude

Howie and Quentin in the UK did the work on Captain Howdy — I especially like the eye orbit beads (which remind me of Cork‘s implants).

    Wow,

    that one really rocks. Now he needs his ears done, to look even more devilicious 🙂

    maybe i’m just looking wrongly, but to me it seems his ears are done?

    Maybe it’s an illusion.

    Interesting look, I think it works for him.

    Yah he’s had the cartilage shaved off and his lobes cut too I think.

    I saw this guy on “The Real Extras” the other day on TV. I was fairly certain i’d seen the name “captain howdy” on IAM at some point. I searched and low and behold he’s here. I was amused.

    I like his eyes most, great shade of green 🙂

    Usually subdermals and horns come across as mostly shit but this guy carries them off with subtlety and dignity.

    Nicely done and by the top UK guys too so you know it will last and not get infected. 😛

    Those are cool…but I have to say Jason Sands implants are the best ones I’ve ever seen with the catepillars tattooed over them.I really think implants with tattoos look amazing,… it would be cool if this guy could work some sort of design over these.

    Is Captain Howdy a reference to The Exorcist? He’s pretty hot, too. . .

    The beads near his eyes are really subtle (well, as subtle as implants can be) and amazing.

    Very nice work !

    By the way, aren’t the horns dangerous (for the wearer) or uncomfortable ? They look quite heavy

    I’m assuming the eyes are photoshopped (color saturation & burning) by Shannon, correct?

    *smiles* I thought Cardassian as well. But then I thought Gul Dukat was weirdly hot, anyways. And this fellow’s eyes are amazing.
