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.

    you know guys, a skyline of a city can change depending on where you’re looking at it from…lol it might not look like detroit for some because they live on the other side of the city…. and it might look like detroit for others.. because they live on the same side and about the same distance as whoever got this tattoo… lol logic.
