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.

    If I’m entirely honest, I’m not too keen on this particular example of piercings and tattoos being used together, and I can imagine the scars might detract attention from the actual quality of the tattoo when others see it, but then again, it’s all about what the wearer is happy with I guess!

    Should be an interesting series of scars, but at least for now, the piercings add so much to it!

    i agree, it does look like a constellation. it would be cool to have one like that — surface piercings forming an actual constellation and a tattoo depicting the presumed image.
