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.

Pat Dry Your Eyes.

I think it’s time soap companies started looking into “No Tears” hand lotion..

Gabriel Dain (the owner of the creepy hands) writes..

“Seeing as there’s been two other “palm eye” tattoos featured on ModBlog (Roo: I can only find one) I thought these might interest you. They weren’t inspired by the Pan’s Labyrinth tattoos, however. I don’t really know what they were inspired by, if they were indeed the product of inspiration, but I love them! They’ve washed out heaps since I got them (about 3 months ago), but I’ll try to send an updated photograph soon.”

    I find it curious that the wrists need to be crossed in order for the eyes to be facing the “right” direction.

    If they weren’t crossed the thumbs would be in the way? Maybe?

    starred_and_scarred – Not really, because if you think of her with her palms outstretched and her arms parallel.

    They eyes would be looking outwards, and the lacrimal sacs would be in the correct places.

    If you get me..

    The only other place I’ve seen something similar was in the new Season 4 Episode 2 of Doctor Who called “The Fires of Pompeii”. But the temple priestess’ were sporting them on the back of their hands, not the palms.

    i dunno roo, the position of the lashes suggests that theyre MEANT to be shown with the wearers arms crossed..

    just what it seems like to me, but the arm crossing part doesnt bother me i sort of like it better that way, its far more dramatic.

    The eyes are placed so that they are facing me when I look at the palms of my hands. You’ll notice that this means I have to cross my arms when I want to show them to other people.
    Also, Roo, I’m a guy =P And here is the other palm eye tattoo:

    Such a shame that the ink has washed out, b/c these are some damn fine palm tattoos.
