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.

    This should look amazing when it’s healed. And what’s on his eyelid?

    Holy crap that is fucking fantastic. Tattooing just became legal over in Norfolk (finally) after a long ban. Fuzion Ink hasn’t even been open that long. I MUST go there! 🙂

    Josh is a body modification extraordinaire – definitely one of the best artists in the Hampton Roads area. And now he can add ‘fabulous daddy’ to his long lists of talents!

    I wonder if this will restrict movement of the eyebrow…as doing a “raised eyebrow surprized look.”

    Absolutely fantastic. Would love to find an artist locally who can create THAT kind of quality work. The eyelid looks like a tattoo to me.

    Just happened to roll across this image while searching the web. This happens to be my best friend and his eyelids say “WHAT THE” You would have to know him to understand the meaning. The scar healed up light because of the skin on the forehead and the healing process. But its PHAT! To say the least. He now has a piece on the back of his head. Its awesome!!!
