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.

The Spiral Trinity

Triskelions seem to be popular these days as it’s the second one we’ve seen in the past week, although in this case it’s a scar and not 33 microdermals.  This one in particular was done on Huxley by none other than Steve Haworth, while he was a guest artist at Piercings by J in Guelph, ON.

    I’d never seen a triskelion until I got mine tattooed four years ago, and then, BAM. Everywhere.

    Just tattooed one of these yesterday- kid let me know that one of the hot characters on MTV’s Teen Wolf has one in this same spot. Coincidence- think not.

    ^Valentine, I hear you on that one. I’d e-mailed Steve my design several weeks in advance, as it is something I’ve been thinking about for literally years, showed up to the shop to get it done, and found out the apprentice piercer was also getting a triskelion… *face-palm*. Oh well. It has personal meaning for me and I am super pleased with it.

    Beautiful. I have been thinking less and less about tattoos and more about scars as I have always been in love with what I call my battle wounds that I have collected over the years, mostly just from being very overly active in my youth. Never afraid to try anything twice.

    Simple and elegant!
