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.

Wednesday, Bloody, Wednesday

Now if you thought that the chin scarification from yesterday was bloody.  Just think how much blood was shed in this massive undertaking.

This big ol’ scar piece was done across the pond by Ricki Duncan from Bridgend Tattoo Studio, conveniently located in the town of Bridgend, UK.

    Respect. But forget the blood, guarantee cleaning and healing were millions of times worse than procedure. Two weeks of hell. Worth it though.

    the removed areas are all so thick, and over such a large area, that i bet the healed tissue isnt going to be very consistent. but i hope it ends up healing lovely, and how she imagined it!
