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 Master at Work

Time and time again, Vincent Hocquet’s designs have blown our collective minds.  How he manages to weave in spiritual symbols with geometric shapes and abstract art.  He is truly a master at what he does.  Here he is at work on his friend Rob’s bodysuit, which is turning out beautifully.

    I don’t regret any of my tattoos but when I see this kind of high concept body art project it kinda makes me wish I could erase them and start over again.

    @inka: no doubt, I’m trying to figure out some room so I can get a tattoo in this style. I have plenty of room right now, but so many tattoos I want already

    The design incorporates the swastika motif, you’re not the only one seeing it.
