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.

When it comes to scarification pieces, sometimes a detailed cutting isn’t what the person being scarred wants.  Sickpuppie here had his scars done by Kelly D, which fit nicely with his series of five microdermals.  Asymmetrical pieces such as this always evoke reactions from people, either positive or negative, simply because the human brain is wired to look for symmetry.  Combining the asymmetry with a minimalistic design really makes this project stand out as something fairly unique.

It also looks like one of his nipple piercings is diagonal while the other is horizontal.  You can see more scars, both minimal and elaborate in the scarification galleries.

    Love the microdermals, and the scars are gorgeous. Though I’m biased about the scars, as my boyfriend has an almost identical (naturally-occurring) set.

    I like that, looks pretty good… but I could never live with something asymmetric myself.

    He has such gorgeous collarbones!

    I like it as it works well with the microdermals, so it doesn’t seem odd that it’s not symmetrical.

    …although the lack of symmetry of the nipple piercings does irk me!
