Jeebuz I is so happy for t3h diversity on modblog lately. Yayssss. Makes me wonder about the last five years. It would be hard for me to believe that black people just NOW started sending photos in. I’m so happy it’s not just white people (who I love by the way) or asians (who I also, equally, love haha) being featured anymore.
The scarification comes from a small town in South Eastern Ghana called Larteh Kubease. The markings (I have them on my chest and back as well) are associated with a Shrine their called Akonedi. Nana Akonedi, the deity is a female goddess of justice. I got the marks years ago during a three year period of spiritual training and discipline. The marks were done here in the states though.
My tattoos also mark rites of passage for me…the stars symbolize the four original members of my now defunct band. The mask – a newly graduated from college me and the dragon, that you can barely see.. is protection and symbolizes the taming of my anger.
This picture… was taken during a crying jag shortly after my wife left me.. it was about this time last year in fact.

Aw Adwoa, well you seem to have bounced back nicely. I agree with Kara and Quinnn!
‘b.’, do you leave controversial comments just for the sake of it, y’know, just to get a reaction?
Cause I’ve seen similar comments left by you on other entries on ModBlog.
There’s something about the mods on her arm and the light and her hair, that just make this such an amazing shot.
I love her hair and all the mods down her arm 🙂 And I’m sorry about your wife Adwoa.

B.- I love how you contradict yourself. Just a few posts ago you were telling us we all needed to be nice and not diss on people for the way they look. Yet in damn near every other post I’ve seen you leave a comment in you’re completely rude and say shitty things about the way the people look.

b., disgusted? By what? Each to their own but I don’t see what could be taken as disgusting in those pictures.
Anyhow, Adwoa, I think the pics are lovely and wistful and I hope the one year anniversary of the pics finds you happy and all bounced-back.
One of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place. When you’re surrounded by people who not only understand the technical complexities of suspension but are excited by the challenge… Read more: Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetry
There’s a particular kind of magic that happens at your first big suspension gathering when you arrive with nerves, an open heart, and the quiet hope of flight.
