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.

    She is gorgeous! She reminds me of Domino the Marvel comics character (She just needs to black in the circle) http://www.marvel.com/universe/Domino_(Neena_Thurman)

    In response to the comment that the tattoo looks freehand I would like to remind you that the face is not a flat surface. It is far easier to draw a perfect circle on a piece of paper than on an inconsistent one. I am amazed at how round the circle looks from this exact angle and would be really interested in seeing how the shape changes from different angles. I think this is pretty great for this reason. It is probably perfectly geometric from only this one angle but from all others I bet it is much more organic and erratic. It kind of reminds me of some of this artist’s site-specific work.

    I bet that looks awful from the front, just think how a circle will bend to be an oval and just stretch like an egg from the side. Definitley a candidate to walk sideways like a crab just to look cool. Oh dear, normally I love this kind of thing but it just seems like someone’s trying to be cool. *sighs*

    I really like it. it is quite balls to get a face ink, and even moreso when it is something that is memorable and unique. I think she looks like a superhero or just someone who’d have adventures to tell. not everyone gets ink and regrets it; hell, in a few years, I would look back on that time of life and laugh.
    you only go through this show once.
    why not have a cool costume whilst onstage?

    One of the few things worse than doing something because everyone is, would be not doing something because anyone else is. If someone else doing something similar lessens your desire for it then it probably wasn’t really right for you to begin with. If you really are committed to something on the level you should be for facial tattooing then it shouldn’t matter if someone else does it at all. Do it for yourself regardless of if it is brand new or completely common.

    I’m reminded of people who pretend to be fans of something (like bands) but then fall away when other people get into it. If you really love the bands music it should not matter if it is just you listening or if they are the new pop radio golden child.

    Know thyself and then be true to yourself in everything – but especially body modification.

    Certainly, this duo is invoking (whether knowingly or not) some part of the ‘One Percenter’ mentality (see Wikipedia for reference). I like the discussion about what people like and dislike, because conformity partially exists to oppress unwanted opinion regardless of the content. Allowing others to explain their disagreement is best, because challenging their staunch views only emboldens them. This couple is exude personal freedom, and we must respect those values in this discourse. I think the woman is incredibly beautiful, but body modifications are not mirrors to our entire souls… only exercises of some of our artistic values. If we can’t be respectful of others opinions, and others vice versa, then we shouldn’t participate in such a community. BME should exist for the discussion of body modification, and not act to ostracize those individuals who perhaps need help freeing their minds the most.
