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.

Under your skin

Arachnophobes beware, this post is going to freak you out.

So it’s been a long time since the name Emilio Gonzalez has appeared on ModBlog, which is a shame because he is still one of the finest body modifications working today.  And just to prove it, here’s a healed look at one of his more recent implants.

Yep, that’s a spider.  Enjoy the nightmare fuel that brings you.  Would this be a bad time to bring up the urban myth of the spider laying eggs in a person’s ear, only to have them hatch and work their way out.  Maybe this one went in, instead of out.

For those looking to have work done by Emilio, you can reach him at his shop, Mithros Tattoo in Caracas, Venezuela.

    Will it tighten up as time passes? I wouldn’t be able to tell what it is unless I was told.

    I’m just thrilled by how displeased she looks. Excellent “harumph” face.
