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.

“Chinese Peach” Tattoo

My old friend Mufkin got a t-shirt with this image on it, and just loved it so much she got it tattooed. I like it and think it suits her — it’s done by Eric at Lucky 13 in Niagara Falls, Canada.

    Kanga – you invariably have said what I wanted to say! I’m gonna go ahead with it, anyway.

    that’s totally the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen tattooed on someone. Like, real-fruit-sweet, not the hypersugaroversweet you get a lot with cartoony stuff.
    Total awww.
