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.

Bandit-Aaaah.

I actually stumbled across these photos of IAM: xbanditax performing with Psycho Cyborgs (after the break) when I was researching another post, and thought they were pretty, and hot, and thought-provoking and pretty..

Read on for a few more, but a friendly warning, they do get a little gory and bloody! Seriously, if you have a weak stomach just have a cup of tea instead (I’m not joking)..

xbanditax, smelling the roses.

    It’s probably a bad thing that deep cuts like that make me salivate.

    I personally want to know how the big deep gash came to be and what, if anything, is inserted in it.

    Yeah, I admit I feel a certain cat-killing curiousity about the abdominal cut…

    Respectfully…

    1. Why?
    2. How was it cut?
    3. How well did it heal? How long did it take to heal?
    4. Are there any negative side effects from this mod like infections and whatnot?

    First thing I thought when the pictures loaded: “She must have some really tough tits!!”

    Not my thing, but bravo to her for having the guts (maybe if we open that gash a little more we will see them!) and the passion to do it.

    I’m curious about the scar visible in the 3rd picture. From something similar to this maybe?

    Bandita seems to, as part of the Psycho Cyborgs, seems to be cut open from time to time and an organ exposed. This is shown in..

    Having had heavy surgical mods comparable to this (but with lidocaine), I’m just about out of guts contemplating her exposing her guts so willingly without anesthesia.

    Well done! Those aren’t guts, Thats subcutaneous fatty tissue, Tho she has much less than most abdominal lacerations I’ve seen! It’s completely superficial, and if kept clean and sutured, no risk at all!!!
