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.

    Loving the mix of removal and cutting, it seems to make the snake stand out more somehow.

    Be interesting to see exactly how it heals up.

    I think all scarification artists should work topless on topless boys.. hmnn…

    That’s looks really good. I just love the design and the way it’s translated on the skin.

    Fantastic. A friend did that to me years ago (1998) in a bar. He drew and crafted the swastika and his own name on my back; it lasted about a year. Hail Satanas
