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.

A Crack in the Concrete


Keeping with the requests to see more healing/healed scarification work, Tara checks in with this nicely raised year-and-a-half-old piece by the Thunder From Down Under, Wayde Dunn. Check out the fresh cutting after the jump.

    I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but judging by the rest of it, I don’t think they were meant to be even.

    By far one of the most beautiful scarifications I’ve seen. It’s stuff like this that makes me want to try for myself, but I doubt I’d get as lucky with the end result.
