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.

Thumb Scar

This cross skin removal, now well healed, that Russ Foxx in Vancouver did on a thumb really turned out great — it’s even and well defined, almost looking like a fresh welt.

    Ooh nice. The person should add it to the Religious Tattoos website. (Good resource for Christians interested in body modification…it’s got histories, explanation of symbols, and a “Bible support” section.)
