Buddha has been portrayed in countless ways over the centuries. Keegan Lam from Forever Ink in Toronto came up with this interpretation of Buddha which he calls “The Urban Buddha“.
I realize that this is a portrayal of Budai, however western culture has come to know him more commonly as the Laughing Buddha.

JakeMindsnared is a lucky guy. Not only does have have some fantastic scars by Anders and Efix, he also gets to suspend at sunset overlooking Australia’s Gold Coast.
Jake pierced himself for this suspension, and set up the rigging with the help of his buddy, IAM:LostCause.

It’s great seeing artists grow in their work, especially ones like Misty, who continually put their work out into the public and communicate with other professionals in order to improve. What you end up with is pieces like this, a fantastic Ourobors scarification piece, that show just how much she’s improved in such a small time.
You can see more of Misty’s work in her BME portfolio. Given that she only started scarification work in the past year, with how well she’s progressing, I can’t wait to see what comes next.

When it comes to suspension photos, especially ones from the #Leeds Suspension Team, the main focus is on the person suspending. Now I mention the #Leeds team not only because this photo is from one of their suspensions, but because their team is mostly performance based, with their suspensions being part of either a live show or a photoshoot. Of course, without the team behind the suspensions, we wouldn’t get such amazing photos from them, like these two photos from back in March. So here’s a shot of Arseniy looking on backstage while the subject of the shoot hangs above in the invisible chair suspension.
