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 different take on ear pointing

Well it’s pointed, but not in the same way we typically see ears  pointed. I am not sure quite what the client was going for with this, whether it is indeed a different take on ear pointing, or maybe a faux battle scar,  but whatever the goal was the end result is quite striking.

This cartilage removal was donre by Martin Page of Amazing Colors Tattoo in Berlin.

For a healed picture, keep on keeping on.

    That’s mutilation, not modification.

    I get so fucking frustrated when I see someone on here who calls some sort of modification mutilation. Rich, don’t start talking down on other modifications if you don’t even know how a blowout occurs. It’s very obvious that the person wanted this look, so why should anyone else question it? It was very well executed, and healed perfectly. I love how it appears to be an animal’s ear now.

    I dont think this can be called mutilation unless mike tyson did actually bite off his ear. I didnt like it when I saw the new pic with stitches, but was pleasantly suprised at the final result. Maybe he had an ear tattoo he didn’t like?

    I like it.
    Looks professional and well taken care of.

    I only want to know if it’s just his left ear or both.
    Maybe that’ll clear up the ear pointing/battle wound/other reason questions.

    NOT a fan. I’m sorry but it looks like it was botched up. It does look like it was well cared for, and it healed nicely. But the end result is flat out ugly imho.

    I am so shocked by the lack of support on this website in the last year or so. Getting brave behind your key boards is not any way to handle any situation, especially if you’re going to do something as shallow as bashing someone for how they choose to look. I don’t know what else to say, cool ear.

    This doesn’t look botched at all. I’ve been wanting a very similar mod in which I would have a chunk taken out of the top of my cartilage.. Is it really that far fetched that this is exactly what the person wanted? I personally think it looks awesome!

    When I hold the laptop further away form my face I can see a penis shape in his ear. Awesome.
    I like the finished result, it reminds me of a dog ear. It’s interesting and eye catching.
