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.

Japanese (Taiwanese?) Sleeve

I quite like siobhan‘s latest sleeve work, done by Diau-An at Taiwan Tattoo in Kaohsiung. Great art, totally sexy and totally tough. There are more pictures on her page and in today’s main update.

Anyway guys and girls, sorry for the limited posts today but I’m exhausted and going to bed.

    Wow, she’s 25? She definitely only looks 15 or 16, at least in the two outside pictures. Maybe 19 or 20 in the middle picture.

    It’s funny not only do I need to buy anti-wrinkle cream for my aging skin, but apparently I need to worry that people think I look 15. I’d think two sleeves would make someone look older not younger.
