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.

I have seen lots of things…

…and I have done lots of things that would make a normal person curl up in the fetal position and require years of institutionalizing.

So in the rare moments when I come across something that makes me cringe a bit, I feel obliged to share it with you guys.

Some of Alicja‘s  performance acts she does with The Psycho Cyborgs definitely makes me wince a bit. I don’t know what it is about the “fingering of an open wound” but for some reason that does it for me every time.

For more pictures of her performances, her work and a music video with her and the Psycho Cyborgs, keep on keeping on.

When Alicja is not performing with the Psycho Cyborgs she can be found piercing at Self Sacrifice Tattoo in London,  which just moved to a new location making it the largest shop in all of London! It seems like just yesterday I was posting a uvula piercing and  commenting on the technical difficulties of it, and when perusing Ala’s portfolio noticed this (much trickier) front to back uvula piercing.

    Sean:), we’ve actually been thinking about it for a while and it definetely is a plan!

    VOMIT, it feels like pussy. nice, wet and warm..

    NOEMI, the stomach cutting does scar a lot indeed, we’ve done it 4 or 5 times so far (in the same place) and next time we’re gonna cut on the other side, as there’s quite a lot of scar tissue.

    Miss Cherry, those wounds always heal perfectly fine, never had any problems with them. apart from not being able to move for a day or two, but that i like 🙂

    In TENTS!
    Now what eyed like to see is someone amputate a limb, eat it, wait till it digests, poop it out, and then eat the poop. Poking and cutting just ain’t enough anymore.

    Yep….cutting and poking isn’t enough. Eating amputated limbs is going too far though.
    Instead of eating the removed limbs they instead should be removed, switched, and sewn back on with limbs of other participants. Then they should both eat each others poop just for the heck of it.

    You don’t have to understand everything, you don’t have to like it. It is indeed art, and yes they are pushing the envelope. But they are conscious about what they do, and no matter what anybody says they’ll keep on doing it. For that I have much respect for Samppa and Ala. Love you guys!

    Looking at the photo gallery and the video, can someone explain the the un-initiated whats going on with the hammer-nails-skull. Surely can’t be pounding them deep enough to be stuck solid.. Maybe we’ll concealed trans/micro dermals?

    Is it weird the fake eyepiece/patch stuff thats present in a lot of Cyborgs performances creeps me out more?
