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.

Bleeding Knife

This time, much less graphic and shocking than the one added half an hour ago! Billy’s ribs, a scarification and tattoo combo piece, were done by Shon.

    Throw in an implant or some saline inflation, and this covers all the usual ModBlog stuff…

    Except that it’s not a cock, obviously.

    I think this is a really tasteful, understated way to incorporate multiple mods into one cohesive piece. Bravo.

    The blood doesn’t look like its from scarification. It would be cooler if it was a clean cut right at the blade edge then it would be play cutting as well.

    Oh man, just imagine . . . a penis with tattooing, pubic scarification, a microdermal clitknocker, a 0g PA, inflated, with a knife through it.

    TrickeyDick is mistaken and Dallas is correct, this brand was not done at the Fakir Branding Intensive and was done at the P.P.I.S. Branding Course (I instruct for both and also co-supervised this student collaborative with Monte).
