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.

Two Year Old Implants

Iguana Mike‘s implants survived his recent legal altercations, and seem to be doing quite well at two years of age (initially done by Shawn O’Hare at Fillmore Tattoo and Piercing in California). I have to admit that giant star implant in his forehead is really visually overpowering and I’ll bet is a little disconcerting in person as it’s so big!

    Dani, I don’t know anything about the allegations against Mike, and I’m certainly not about to block someone’s picture from ModBlog because they’ve been accused of something that may or may not be true, to say nothing of the context being potentially quite different than in the article above.

    Honestly, he’s a good looking guy. Even more so if he didn’t have the implant. Don’t like it.

    Hey, I’m quite sincerely curious to know – if the text above the picture hadn’t mentioned any “legal altercations”, it wouldn’t have occurred to me to look up info about it. The only news articles I can find look like they’re from that same time period, early to mid-2007, I’m genuinely interested in how it got resolved.

    I wanna know how this ended up too. Cos preying on a young person’s desire to be modded (which in the majority of young people is just a fashion statement) is f*ckin’ filthy. I can’t help but feel that it’s irresponsible showcasing this guy.
