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.

Those dragons have eyes!

These microdermal tattoo augmentations weredone by Graham at Holier Than Thou Body Piercing and Modification Studio in Manchester, England. Even if they reject, the scar can be tattooed and the tattoo will remain in 3D!

    I really like the two dragons above, they’re much more detailed and the design is more flowing then the dragons with the eyes.
    Although the eyes do look pretty cool :P.

    Are microdermals likely to reject? I thought that was half the point of them?

    These look cool anyway 🙂

    Very cool effect.

    Interesting that they didn’t tattoo over his mole/freckle though.

    …hmm. Oddly, I’ve been debating wither or not I should do this with the eyes on my dragons, when I get them.

    Seeing this…I don’t think i will, as I don’t think they will match what I go for.

    And this is why I come here! Learning good.
