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.

The Star of Almog

No, it’s not a magical talisman from Lord of the Rings, it’s body modification by Almog of CyberTattoo, Poland CyberTattoo, Israel.

Let’s hope it doesn’t wander too much!

    i’m thinking your’e wrong about the location.. there’s hebrew writing about the studio at the beginning of the film. (also, Almog is a hebrew name). i’m pretty sure this is from Israel.

    nope, Yuli, he’s totally right! It’s from Poland all right and let me use this opportunity to complain about such “monsters” as “bizuteria piercingowa” or “kolczyki do piercingu.” I do understand that’s the way people are talking these days but c’mon, don’t disfigure your native language when there are some decent (even if a lil longer) alternatives in your own language. Using English terms all the time doesn’t make one either look or sound or be professional. This “problem” appears also in other languages (German to name one) but it’s certainly a question “local” people from the industry could do something about!
    It’s cool Poland is featured on BME one (good) way or another but it’s not cool to copy English without doing some thinking first 😛

    Does the bottom right point look wonky to anyone else ?

  6. RooRaaah Crumbs Avatar

    Ania – That’s lucky because although I know what Polish looks like it was a total guess!

    I wasn’t given many details along with the video 🙂

    Giles – Maybe it’s atmospheric distortion, I’ll get Hubble on it right away!

    Roo – The hebrew writing at the begining says “Cyber tattoo, your trade mark” (It’s not totally accurate but it’s the best option ’cause if I would try to translate it word for word it would be something like “your mark of recognition” or something silly like that 🙂
    Anyway, ALMOG is *definitely* an israeli name, it means coral in hebrew.
    But all of this doesn’t mean there’s a location mistake – maybe it’s an israeli artist working in Poland and for some reason decided to make the slogan at the beginning in hebrew.

    And personally I think the artist is WAY cuter than the client (-:

    Not a big fan of navel peircings, so I got nothing 2 say ’bout that (-:

    Have a great weekend everybody

    I love that piercing job. I never wanted a belly button piercing. Now I want one just like that!

  15. RooRaaah Crumbs Avatar

    Reout – Wicked, thank you!

    I probably didn’t explain my previous comment to Ania all that well, I was multi-tasking at the time..

    I ‘guessed’ it was from Poland by Googling the studio name that was included with the video, narrowing down the options, and also that the sender of the video had a distinctly Polish name. If anyone knows who Almog is let me know and I’ll edit this post, I’m still waiting for a reply from the sender.

    Hey Almog.

    I’ll look into this now, apologies if there’s been some confusion.

    The sender of the video assured me it was theirs to send in..

    I really like this. It’s actually something I’ve wanted for awhile. It was nice to see it being done. I already have a typical navel piercing so I guess if I was gonna do this I’d have to take that out. Idk how that current hole would look.
