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.

Cross-hatch Scarring

You may have seen this on the cover of BME recently, or in the scarification galleries, but I wanted to give some extra attention to this nice scar (hopefully we’ll get to see the healed texture in the future) from Horinaka at AcidCrue in Singapore (iam:incisionglory).

    That’s pretty cool. I love how raw it looks right now.

    I would really enjoy rubbing my fingers along that once healed. Sort of reminds me of safety-non-slip rubber floor.

    When I first saw this on the BME cover, I couldn’t get over how fluorescent it looks! Is that to do with the contrast of the raw flesh against iodine on the skin, or has the saturation in the photo been altered?
    I’m intrigued.
    It’s beautiful.

    Ehm, it’s nice and all, but that’s not crosshatching.

    Torn between thinking of quilts and flooring 🙂 But I dig it either way.

    Its funny but the first thing I thought of was that the forms sort of suggest the letters BME, three horizontals, three verticle lines and then three horizontals again, exactly the main volumes of the leter B, M and E. coincidence? methinks not!

    OH! I saw this earlier & was really hoping it would be posted on here!
    It is a weaving pattern design…it makes me think of geometric African motifs.(maybe it is???)
    This is going to look great when healed; I’m excited for them! 🙂

    It has to be photoshopped, unless their legmeat is neon.

    Looks like a dodgeball texture to me.
