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.

Good Morning BME!

I hope you all had as fabulous of a weekend as I did. Let’s start off this calm and beautiful morning with a simple scarification on Sarasil by John Joyce of Scarab Body Arts in Syracuse, NY. As if John needs any kind of introduction. He’s a BME legend much like Brian Decker and Ron Garza.

    Sairino –

    I’m no expert, but I’m willing to bet it’s the skin that made this heal like that. I had a cutting done by John and followed the aftercare to a t, and while it turned out fabulous, it looks nothing like this one. I can’t recommend John enough though – nothing but great things to say about him!

    That is beautiful. I wish I knew two things about it though.

    1-Where on the body is it?

    2-How long ago was it done, what phase of the healing process are we seeing?
