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.

    Now that’s what I like to see – great piece before and after. Kind of makes me want to touch it. 😉

    that looks so pretty, she’ll have to keep her tummy nice and flat to prevent ruining the effect though, which is a shame, cos wobbly bellies are so much fun

    fucking great work!

    sure i could nitpick, but why bother? this is a good example of how it should be done.

    Also, anyone have an idea of what would happen if she were to gain weight?
    It would be interesting to see the effect on a scar.

    Very nice, it looks absolutely beautiful. And it’s good to see healed scars on Modblog, I find that the emphasis is too often put on fresh scarifications.

    The actual cutting of that piece must have taken some serious skill, and the piece healed perfectly.
    I wish I could run my fingers over it.
