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.

This one gets tricky

I really like this branding. I’m not sure why it’s so appealing to me but it’s incredibly striking. grundstuck‘s seemingly perfect circles were carefully electrocauterized by Quentin at Kalima in Worthing, UK.

Or maybe I just like boys in cute glasses.

    Why is that pattern so great? I’ve been planning to get scarification of it for a while and until recently, haven’t seen anyone with it and now I’ve seen three people within the last three months. Its fantastic. So simple and elegant and dang beautiful.

    Looks great but the idea has been done 🙂

    My boy Timm at Absolution, since been done as three circles. Though i think in opposite size as this dude.

    Kudos to the mods and artist for the work though 😀

    @Steev, obviously it has been done before they’re just circles. I too love them, that is why i had them done on my chest.

    If i was looking for something unique i would have chosen a different subject 🙂
    (even though i think that almost everything has been done before, piercing and modwise in general..)

    I have the exact same thing – only on my back
    And done by bamboo-tapping tattoo – not scars.

    Absolutely adore it <3
    To the wearer :: is there a personal meaning behind them?

    I have circle brandings on my legs 🙂 I really love this, can’t wait to see them healed. I loooove the aesthetic of your mods overall, the small stretched lobes look darling in comparison to the rest of the heavier mods.
