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.

    Love this guy. Does anyone else remember the brief time that he had an anti-eyebrow on the right side? I only saw it on like……..one tv appearance (one of the Hey!x3 ones, if I remember). Must’ve rejected pretty quick. 🙁 Sucks, b/c it looked really good on him, too….

    I like how when women find Asian men hot they are ‘fangirling’ or have a ‘fetish’ or have ‘Asian fever’.
    My boyfriend is Japanese and I constantly am told that I don’t love him, I just have a fetish.

    i agree with Warborn, its crazy that bme should post and attribute images copied from elsewhere on the web to the wrong tattoo artist let alone gender.. nevermind the fact that Mr Ginsberg seems to have no clue as to what he’s posting on Modblog

    this is disappointing on so many levels… 🙁

    I think the amount of piercings in his lip is a bit much…..when added in with the rest of his look and the fact that the jewelry is a bit big…he’s cute though, and my friend did her eyebrows like his/got a bridge piercing because of him….she looks really good. 😀
