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.

Large raised keloids

Another piece by Blair (byBlair.com and a BME gallery of scars by Blair) — these keloids look great, and really are healing incredibly evenly!

    Awesome condition for them to be in. I’ve been considering getting a scarification piece, except I’m too worried about them not being perfect 🙂

    stunning.

    im interested if these we done differently than other scars. do the flesh mechanics that do scarification have their own trade secrets or are they willing to share techniques?

    i also wonder if anything was done after the initial trauma to help them scar so beautifully.

    definitely fucking awesome!

    Whoa… I’m not normally a fan of large keloids, but I am utterly impressed with how evenly this set healed up. It will be interesting to see how they change over the next few years (I know my scar’s texture changed a lot in the first 3 years).

    It would make sense to add a check list to the pics when submitted that covered ,the desired effect ,the method and aftercare that was used to get to that point.
