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.

Zelda Scarification

Please correct me if I named the wrong video game (I only play Guitar Hero and Rock Band). I wasn’t sure how this was going to heal when I first saw it, but it turned out quite nicely in the end — this scar/skin removal is by Branko/Darlin from BZK Tattoo in Slovakia.

    That’s Link, from the Legend of Zelda series. I think it turned out really well!

    I think this scar is based off of either A Link to the Past or Wind Waker… While OoT is most definitely the greatest video game to have ever been created, that’s definitely not the young Link from it 😉
