Man Hangs Himself from Meat Hooks plus Terrifying Tattoos from the Israeli Body Art Convention

From a tattoo fanatic with his eyes inked black to a piercing
fan with meat hooks embedded in his arms – these images would not seem
out of place in most people’s nightmares. In fact they are terrifyingly
real, and are currently on display at the second annual tattoo
convention being held in Tel Aviv, in the heart of conservative Israel
yesterday.

Fans of body art flocked from all over the world to get tattoos from
some of Israel’s leading artists, including ‘Magneto’, pictured above, –
a German tattoo model whose entire face is covered in inkings,
including his eyeballs. Israeli men were pictured having intricate
artworks painstakingly added to their thighs and necks during the
convention, while another woman had a huge drawing etched into her
chest.
Elsewhere, Israel’s first ‘suspension crew’ – nicknamed the Suicide
Team – used painful looking metal hooks and bars inserted through their
skin to dangle themselves from wires high above the crowd.
One man
was pictured crying out in pain while the suspension bars were inserted
into his thighs, before being lifted up using meat hooks inserted
through his forearms and forehead. Scroll down after the cut to see the
pics.
