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.

    I first saw this posted on Giz and thought it was utterly awesome. Glad those who forwarded it felt the same. What’s hilarious is to read the enthusiasm expressed here and then compare to the ā€œThis is batshit insaneā€ attitude expressed over in the comments at Gizmodo.

    Slovan, you have a freaking 800W laser? Was that a medical laser, or just a very strong etching/industrial laser?

    On the matters of scarring, you could always have it go through with multiple passings. Though you might need to strap the body part down securely for that.

    I wonder if you could coat this with ink to make a 120dpi tattoo? šŸ˜›

    What’s funny is that I first saw this on a design website, and now I see it here, and it’s like both of my careers have finally converged.

    If you’re tech-savvy enough you can make your own laser cutter (using it to etch your skin would be supremely stupid) or you can buy one – starting in the many thousands of dollars. For most people, branding the old-fashioned way is still going to make a lot more sense.

    @46 – ā€œLaser Radiationā€? šŸ˜› Assuming you arn’t using unusually exotic and toxic materials to make the laser itself, then it has less of a harmful medical effect than standing under a madnifying glass in strong sunlight.

    Awesome! It’s the Instructables robot! Can’t believe I missed this, I read Gizmodo and Instructables a lot.

    I think I entered one of the Instructables contests to win a laser etcher once but didn’t get anything.

    For some reason* seeing the dude with his hand in the box made me think of the gom jabbar test in Dune.

    ā€œWhat’s in the box?ā€

    ā€œPain.ā€
