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 magic of Dermablend

Whenever the discussion turns to “can you still get a job with facial mods”, I always think of Bronte_1975 (I know this entry is a little repetitive), who covers up her facial tattoos for work. I know it’s not an option for piercings, let alone lip plates, of course.

    Dermablend is INCREDIBLE.

    That must be what Joan Rivers wears to cover all the old.

    its always amazing to see how well that product works, almost as amazing as how different ppl look with out there facial work esp if you know them well.

    anybody have any idea how well this product would cover knuckle tattoos? just thinking about it lately and it seems with all the motion and wrinkles it could possibly not work all that well. just thinking out loud

    I’m totally floored by how well that works… but does it look thick and pasty and cake-face like?

    Not sure about other countries, but here in the NL most proper drug stores or Vichy dealers can help you with Dermablend. Everytime I see Bronte’s pics I’m amazed by the great coverage of this stuff.

    Just so others aren’t as surprised by this as I was: Dermablend is not a miracle cream. You still need to know how to apply makeup, and it takes more than just this to cover the tattoo and blend it to your skin tone. It took me a long time to figure out how to cover my facial tattoo work, and I found that a simple Mary Kay combination works way better than Dermablend.

    As always, your mileage may vary.

    Wow, I never knew it could work that well. Of course, it’s understandable that you need to know how to use makeup to make this work, but I’ve heard so many stories about people using it to cover scars and tattoos, nice to see someone who’s been able to successfully use it 🙂

    The thing with dermablend…visit their counter and ask their rep to show you how the makeup can hide your tattoos. It works very well. I used it on my body and it survived getting wet.

    MAC concealer also works really well for coverage of things like scars or tattoos. in my main gallery on IAM, my first picture is of me with makeup over the red scars left from my cheek piercings. its water resistant and stays on for ages, if properly set with powder.

    Her tattoos look lovely 🙂

    @ #7 – I think I saw a bit about the same guy on a National Geographic documentary called ‘Taboo’ about body modification, tribal and Western. He was this little Japanese guy who looked totally unremarkable and ‘respectable’, and then he took off his clothes, make-up and these glove things he wore and he was absolutely covered in tattoos! It was amazing!
