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 Friday Follow-up

Once again Friday is upon us, which means it’s time for another scarification follow-up post.  Today’s scar is about 7 months old and was done by Anders on Chade‘s hand.  You may recall seeing it back in January when I first posted it. Here’s how it looked when it was fresh:

And here’s how it looks 7 months later.

    Gah, my girlfriend dumped me for talking about wanting to do scarification and branding.. If only I could have shown her how beautiful they are.

    Seeing photos like this continually makes me want scar work done, so maybe it was for the better, I will just wait and hopefully find someone that would be comfortable with it.

    if your girlfriend dumped you for that, she wasn’t worth it anyway

    get whatever you want, and don’t settle for someone who doesn’t appreciate you for who you are

    Thanks guys! Actually that first pic was taken about half way through the procedure, before the removal was done. Check out my album (or Anders’) for a pic of the final product.

    And SolidOak, I agree with Meow. She was never worth it.

    Haha thanks guys! (don’t really know why I posted that on here this a.m.)

    The piece is wonderful. I love the placement and the 1/4 design, gives it flow like its moving up your arm.

    Any plans for more work? haha

    Ahh there’s always more plans! Originally I was going to get a mirror design on the opposite hand but I’m unsure now. You’ll just have to wait and see lol.

    Thanks again guys 🙂

    This is quite lovely. I bet that hurt a lot to heal, also. But nice result!
