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.

Facial expressions say it all?

I don’t know how Cere does it (best I can come up with other than NLP is quoting Wesley Snipes — always bet on black!), but Phoenixxx (who as a point of trivia has seen a lot more shaved female genitals than I have) got “Cere” (“the man, the legend”) tattooed on her wrist by Cindy Vega at Local Color Tattoo in Philadelphia… He seems quite pleased:

I’m having a little more difficulty precisely assessing the meaning of her facial expression though? I am assuming it’s a joking shot, but it sure has that “oh my god… what did I just do to myself vibe” to it! Or maybe she’s thinking about the tattoo that Cere just did on Robin of what appears to be a fat chick in a party hat? Or maybe a duck? I don’t know.

    I can’t believe he finally convinced someone to use INK. And here I was thinking I was the only one walking around with his name “tattooed” on me.
