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.

    Its easy to go to a tattoo parlor and sit for a few hours and have someone else put a design on your skin. The dedication to sculpt your body to those kinds of extremes is much more impressive to me.

    Yum. Hot, hot, hot! This totally motivates me to start lifting weights again. I definitely agree that body building qualifies as body modification…it’s an interesting way of looking at working out that I never thought of before. I love the way his tattoos swirl and complement his muscles.

    well deadly nay… CLEARLY my point to questioning that was that it looks like he scratched the scabs off. that effect should be more pronounced so it doesnt look like a mistake and clearly looks like part of the design. fucking smart-alec.

    the bouncer at my work is the european super-heavy-weight kickboxing champion, and has a pretty cool tribal half sleve…

    personally i think muscly guys get them because they will change with the body and not skew too much like an image would.
