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.

    Fucking sweet! I have to admit, I had my doubts, and still do, but this pic looks rather reassuring that it might actually work!

    wow, I’ve personally had pieces of steel taken out of my eye from an angle grinder incident which turned part of my eye the rusty brownish red that is normally associated with rust. It was removed but it was still interesting to look at for that time. I hope nothing terrible comes of the eye tattooing experiment. But if it all went well I think it would prove to be very interesting.
