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.

Body Topography

This abstract piece by Grisha Maslov reminds me of a topographical map.  Well, if maps were made of intricate patterns and designs.

    Wow. Not sure where I saw it (here or on another tattoo blog) but this reminds me of a leg work I saw recently. Surely the same artist.

    I’m stunned, this is so beautiful, different, wow. As much as I love letterings, “more traditional” and “random” tattooing, I love the concept of “your skin as a canvas”, with a unique piece, and nothing else.

    (makes me a bit sad that i will never be able to do it because I already starting filling my canvas. but just a bit, because it’s also beautiful just to look at. Would love to see it in reality!)

    I want to see more work from this artist!

    Hey Rob, has the end of week news feature been done away with or is it like a “month’s end” round-up now because of lack of news, or lack of people contributing news?

    @Jon P: Nope, I’ve just gotten behind on some things, the news being one of them. I should be doing a post this coming week, and back to once a week like normal.
