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.

Burn Courtney, Burn!

This explosive video is being passed around the internet like roasting coals at the moment, and I like to strike whilst the iron’s hot so here’s a quick follow-up with this awesome photo taken mid-burn by Stewy (and click through for a second shot taken two days later).

    I love the design, but shudder at how much it must have hurt to get done.

    That is an amazing photo. Too good, perhaps. It’s so clear that it looks fake.

    looks stellar. one concearn would be any scaring caused by heat that detracted from the design. i don’t think there will be any problem though since it burned so fast.

    im thinking the burning will make this scar really nicely. look forward to seeing it in a few months

    Wow, i’d love to try something like that, over cutting and removing flesh. But i’d be rather concerened about infection and other complications from the gunpowder residue.

    Keep us informed on how it turns out please.
