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.

NO DELIVERANCE WITHOUT PAIN!

Roland and Ralf from Visavajara in Freiburg, Germany did this skin peeling on a customer’s back. See also: God Hates Us All.

    shonnarchy – I’d say that most Germans are capable of speaking English… most people in Western nations speak at least two languages and generally one of them is English.

    #7: Can you imagine them doing it in German? With some of the lengthy words German’s have,etc…You definitely would not be able to fit certain words properly on the body, and keep it shapes,etc.

    keine Befreiung ohne die Schmerz.

    I’m not sure if that’s a perfect translation, but it’s a bit longer than the english phrase.
