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 take it the purple bit is the entire scar? Because if so – that was one nasty injury. But that is one awesome idea.

    i love it!
    actually, i’ve been thinking about getting a similar tattoo like a band around an arm or wrist, sorta Frenkenstein-like 😀
    but to use it to cover up scars – that’s a pretty cool idea

    seems to me that there could’ve been a lot more depth of color and shade to make it more realistic and maybe make it look more like a deep wound. then again i’m ridiculously picky =]
