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.

Gimme Some Skin!

Thinking of a fairly large skin removal? This is what you should be expecting to take home in a doggy bag!*

Clickthrough to see the piece a week after the procedure and here for the first time it was featured on ModBlog.

    i met ron when they were here in guatemala with john durante, very nice guys.
    so when is he finishing the rest of it? and i’m only curious on how having one side of it done so long later will affect the final results since scars tend to be always-changing as they age

    Kay. So. Maybe I’m stupid. I’ve never had a piece of scarification work done.

    …but what is the goo?

    Fat? Some sort of clotting gel? Pain relief? Ogre spit?

    Whoah. It’s been quite a while since something on modblog messed with my head, but that definitely made me feel a little nauseous.

    I agree with Tiroskan. It’s been so long that I’ve been taken back from something posted on here, but it definitely messed with my head a bit 🙂
