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.

Divided By Zero


What can we say? We love John Joyce (more). We love Jannell (more). You think we’re going to turn down the opportunity to post a shot of the latter sporting some wonderfully healing scarification work by the former? Of course not. Two great tastes that taste great together, indeed.

    Wow, these scars look amazing, especially with her skin tone. I adore all these scarification/skin removal pieces being posted lately.

    That is just paint on her back. She had driven direct from work the night before(late) to my house then we went to Scarab Body Arts. Directly behind John taking this picture is me bleeding from the mouth cause he had just split my tongue, haha.

    Cool, I think this is the first photo I’ve seen of artistic scarification on someone who scars like me (i.e. scars become more darkly pigmented instead of staying white)
