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.

    Brunette. The makeup and lighting make a huge difference too, but she looks much sexier in the second picture.

    Regardless of her hair color…she’s probably the reason 18 year old chicks keep coming into my shop wanting three stars on their chest/hip/etc. Sooooo unoriginal.

    I find that bit offensive Fury. I’m a 19 year old ‘chick’ and my next tattoo will most likely be a series of bold star outlines. It’s sad to me that is seen as unoriginal or too mainstream, or just done for the kewl11lolz type factor that most people pin on people who choose to have uncomplicated ink.

    I adore stars as do a shitload of people; but theres only so many ways you can portray them if, like me, you don’t like colour or high detail work on yourself.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love original and vibrant work on others but with my obsessive compulsive disorder I just couldn’t live with something so detailed on mine. So I happen to LOVE clean black outlined work with my skin as the colouring.

    A comment like yours coming from a tattooist of all people is just the thing that makes me apprehensive about going to a shop and asking for my stars.
