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.

  • Mirrors and Chains

    Gabrijel Savic Ra (also on MySpace), writes of this performance he did in Belgrade,

    In this performance I connected the piercings on my arms to the mirror by chains. I walked first watching my face in the mirror, then turned the mirror to the audience, and at the end I broke the mirror, leaving just few pieces of mirror hanging on the chains down from my arms.


  • Peanut butter wrench tattoo

    Infini writes, “one should always have the proper tools when cycling.” Tattoo by Matt at Falling Moon in Moscow, ID. (Oh, and for you non-tool people, the title isn’t a joke).


  • Tetris Tattoo!

    I love it! I’m actually surprised I’ve not seen this concept before — it would make for a great large scale geek tattoo. This one was done by Jibo at Diamond Tattoo and Piercings in Renton, done in version one colors.

  • Tribal Seashell?

    Riki at Libres y Salvajes did this modern tribal piece that I think is somewhat reminiscent of a seashell.


  • The Three Amigos!

    These great portraits (all on one person, not on three friends as I’d initially hoped) were done by Jeff Gogue at Gogue Art in Grants Pass, Oregon… These photos were taken after the first seven hour session at the Motor City Tattoo Convention.
