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.

Oops, I got caught up with other things and didn’t get a chance to prep entries — I’ll add them at about 8:30 PM as I need to dash now. The other good news is that on the next BME update (probably first thing in the morning; it’s building now), the members section of the site now allows “email via picture”, so if you’re a contributing member, you can send messages to other contributing members through their photos.

Anyway, these eyelid tattoos were done by Mike Loshaw at Dragon FX in Edmonton, Alberta — thanks to Lane for sending in the photo.

    When I didn’t have my glasses on, his eye’s looked like snake eyes. Oh yea, I’m that blind.

    It’s cool, though. Different.

    Some would say that anyone who says such things is a capitalist pig who has no comprehension of true worth of experience and the ephemeral world around us.

    While I personal do enjoy a goodly amount of money, I think you need to be careful about how your project your ideals. Not to say that I completely disagree with your sentiments, but there are plenty of people who have found ways to live meaningful lives without depending on commerce symbols.

    That’s really cool. I wonder if you can see them when his eyes are open.

    Also, it’s quite different to realize you need a little bit of money to live in the money based parts of our world, and to idealize it.. 🙂

    They look really well done considering the placement, bet it was a strange sensation when having them tattooed!

    I hate money. ‘Fourth Grade Rats’, that statement of yours is wrong and stupid and deeply offensive.

    Did anyone else notice that they aren’t even? The left isn’t very well done. I know this area might be harder to tattoo because of the thinness of the eyelid but I have seen other eyelid tattoos in person and they were definately straighter.

    Though I’m not sure I’d get a dollar sign anywhere, that’s pretty great. And he’s mouthwatering, even if that’s not the sexiest tattoo ever.

    Can he see them from the inside, do you think? When looking at a bright light with his eyes closed?
