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.

Hot Tattooed Beefcake

Perhaps (but probably not) in response to the calls for me to post more hot tattooed guys, IAM:27 sends in these photos from the July 2005 Pomona convention. If you don’t recognize him from his The Alts television fame, this is Art from Church of Steel in San Diego.
