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.

Josh’s Eyeball Tattoo Update

This photo is at about twenty four hours from the point of initial injection. This is on Josh, who is the person in the middle procedure in the entry below. The large blue spot below shows how far the ink has spread over the conjunctiva. It’s still spreading and I expect it to spread more over the next day. He’s having no discomfort other than a mild “it feels like there’s something in my eye” because of there still being a slight bulge.

    so… josh (eyeball pictured above) appeared at my door this evening to stop by and say “SURPRISE!! IM HOME!!” and i have to say… for a split second, i honestly thought a zombie holocaust was about to ensue. and then i smiled. his eye is now COMPLETELY blue, no white, and it looks fantastic. beautiful, even color, and quite “eye catching”. no pun intended. 😀
