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.

Rollerskates

The piercings are by Graeme at Lord of the Rings in Darlington, UK, and the tattoos are by Alison Manners at Ulimate Skin in Leeds, UK (click for a full size unblurred photo).
