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.

Gleefully Scarred

I love how incredibly happy Davide looks about how his swastika-themed scarification by Ze is turning out… Definitely one of my favorite pictures of the day — a second one continues after the break. Oh, endorphins, how I love you.

    Yay Pig Destroyer! Oh, uh, nice scarring indeed. The whole “swastikas ain’t just for nazis” thing interests me as well. But I still think my mum wouldn’t be too pleased if I got one inked 🙂
