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.

    NICE.

    You really weren’t kidding, Roo. The warning sort of had the opposite effect, though; I just had to see what could be so bad it needed such a warning on ModBlog. 🙂

    Besides the fact that the kidneys are located back by the spine, the cut is way too low. The only organs really located in that area are intestines and an ovary. Cut isn’t deep enough to get to any of that. As Psylocke already mentioned the laceration is subcutaneous but that’s about it. My guess was that something was inserted…besides the fingers for the shot. Maybe trying to represent cutting out an ovary? I’m interested to find out.

    It’s really very unlikely that anything is being pulled out in the video, at least not anything that is naturally in the body. And to say something internal must be being pulled out is just silly, after all, it wouldn’t exactly be the most unfeasible thing in the world for them to have had inserted something or another to pull out for the video for appearances.

    i just cant understand these…i dont understand why the attraction…the risk of cutting too deep and nicking somthing is too much…i can see doin it with somone who has alot of knowledge of anatomy and physiology but whew… and then the risk of infection and complications of healing and the scar tissue forming…

    but im a worrier and i think to much about things… but i do say being able to have mind over matter during the cutting and skewering is VERY impressive. if i saw a blade or a skewer coming after me i’d scream like a little girl, lol

    p.s. the healed scars do look pretty gnarly! :0D
