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.

Woof woof! Dog portrait tattoo!

Thanks to Joy Rumore (IAM:the milkmaid) of Pure Body Arts in Brooklyn for sending in this picture of the tattoo she just did on IAM:crucifyeffigy (as well as a photo of her dog and the flash she made).
