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.

Electroscardiogram

This little abstract scar was sent in by mzellekaktus.  They’re crediting Skin of Steel as the artist from a shop called Angel Tattoo in Nice, France.

I’m sure this symbol is probably well known, but as I’ve shown time and time again, I’m not always in the know about everything.  In any case, it looks pretty original to me, and I hope that we get a follow-up on this one.

    This is really cool! And in terms of a symbol, it just looks like a question mark to me.

    The bottom bit looks like a heart monitor graph with a drop of blood. That plus the question mark resemblance makes it a pretty cool thing to me!

    I figured it looked like a heart monitor question mark too but wondered if it meant something bigger like how we question from the moment our heart starts until it stops and to never give up your curiosity/search for knowledge and be the old person who keeps up with technology blahblahblah but I’m clearly reading too far into it
