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.

Getting implanted

Here’s an action shot of Oscar Navarro elevating the tissue in Bellboy‘s arm at Acid Crue, my favorite modification-driven folks from Singapore (be sure to check out their great blog as well).

    I was going to say that this might make my friend reconsider getting a forearm implant, but it really looks more like he’s squeamish than in pain.

    I appreciate that this pic actually shows someone in pain. So many of the pics on here make mods look painless, which doesn’t give a realistic portrayal to most people.
