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.

“Knit ’till you die!!!”

Bonnie” (who pierces and tattoos at Body Art Tattoo in Plattsburgh, NY), who describes her life as “I read and knit. I am a nerd. This is me.” Doesn’t sound too bad! Anyway, she just had this great tattoo started by Ian “Jonzey” Jones at Ink Monkey in Venice, CA.
