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.

“No Regrets”

You know, I’ve been seeing more guys with facial tattoos and beards, and I really think the combination improves each. This facial tattoo is by Mike Gutowski at Divine Machine Tattoo in Buffalo, NY.

    I LOVE the blue tint to it!! I find black is so harsh on a face.. the blue is a really nice change and looks so much better!
