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.

Predict the hand from the foot

I think you can make a guess as to what his hand is going to look like when you check out the stubbed down toe amputations… Click through to meet the claw!

    Neato.
    Wasn’t there a post (a really long time ago) about a man who was in the process of removing his big toe? I wonder if this foot belongs to him.

    I normally hate feet, but thats a damn good looking foot. So maybe I just hate toes?

    wait, i’m confused as well (along with #3 – at least i’m not alone:). the toes were amputated voluntarily but the hand is natural? either way, the hand really reminds me of thalidomide deformatons.

    Could just be the angle of the photo..? Maybe the rest of his stumpy fingers and palm are hidden behind there somewhere?

    Every day I control my desire to make my feet look just like that and one day I’m gonna lose it.

    So far I’ve just removed the toenails. The whole tips of the toes is my true want….but sadly, I just can’t. Husbands, geesh, they just don’t understand.

    #30: Forget your husband and pursue what YOU want.

    If he doesn’t accept it as part of who you are, he doesn’t deserve you!

    . . . having had family members react with horror, fascination, and dread when looking at any and all of my TOTALLY MAINSTREAM, CONCEALABLE, AND REALLY QUITE PC tattoos / piercings, I’ve come to the conclusion that if they try to prevent you from getting what you want–in anything, really–fuck ‘em.

    Amputation sure ain’t my thing, but far be it from me to say that anyone can’t do it to themselves!

    I’m guessing his hand is originally that way. It’s just too neat, otherwise (to remove three fingers plus chunk of the palm?) unless it’s just the angle and the middle fingers (and palm) are there, but hidden.

    When I was in junior highschool a classmate of mine had both hands with regular thumb and small finger, but the three middle ones were just one small lump all fused together. She was just born like that, she held a pen really strangely, but other than that, had normal handwriting since it was that way from first grade.

    …or I should say, having two fingers, I think is the original state. He maybe cut the ends off since then.
