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.

    I don’t know why, but I always thought skin peeling looked f***ing painful! just the thought of a pair of clamps and a scalpel reaching underneath a cut gives me shivers; great pictures, though! what does the final product look like?

    Why is it when you look at stuff it seems painful but then if you go and do it its not. I thought getting a tattoo would be painful and I was wrong.

    Those are fascinating shots. I would like to try it but am a little leery of the pain level. I want to try simple cutting first. Just have to take baby steps.
