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’m actually all for the asymmetry, I feel if it were done on both sides it would look a bit too ridiculous.

    I agree with the Lizardman on this one.

    I’m a Libra so I have always struggled with the balance in everything on or around me…
    when I started getting tattooed it was really hard for me to decide not to tattoo my arms to match, and choosing not to was a huge step in being able to look at things a little differently than I had before.

    I actually like the way it looks healed better than the fresh ink.
    the hard edges have kinda faded away it blends more smoothly into his skin and doesnt look as abrasive as it does in this picture

    I think what kills it for me is that it just stops at the lips. The asymmetry aspect is fine on its own, but the fact that it just abruptly stops around his lips just KILLS IT. This could have been insanely awesome if it had been executed properly.

    okay i’m seriously sick of the “wow i wonder what he’ll think when he grows up” bullshit about heavy body modification.

    just because you grew out of your post-adolescent idealistic phase doesn’t mean everyone else does. does it even occur to some people that maybe he IS a grown ass man and probably is deeply thrilled and in love with his obviously permanent decisions?

    idiots.

    RooRaaah Crumbs — Maybe, maybe not. And it’s not that I”m against heavy mods it’s just that I find the style of this one to be cartoonie and juvenile looking, which is something a person may outgrow.

    I just have to add my son just walked in and saw this picture, this was his unprompted response, “ha, ha, that looks stupid, it doesn’t even look real, what a nerd”

    Sorry but as they say out of the mouths of babes.

    You know, it seems like in every one of these comment areas, there always HAS to be that one person who brings up the “Aren’t they gonna regret that?!” thing. Come on guys, have you forgotten that you’re on Modblog? That kind of thinking is the exact thing that Modblog proudly stands against. Isn’t this supposed to be a place where we open-mindedly celebrate peoples’ body mods, permanent or otherwise?

    Am I the only one who thinks that this tattoo might be inspired by the movie “Slither”, thus the asymetry?

    Not exactly my cup of tea, and as with a lot of other’s the assymetry would drive me nuts, but whatever makes the guy happy and to be honest he’s an MMA fighter, firstly who’s gonna tell him he’s wrong? secondly the singer in my band is an MMA aswell and those guys work FUCKING hard so I’m glad he’s just doing whatever the fuck he wants 🙂
