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.

Now I can’t get that psychedelic number song from Sesame Street out of my head thanks to Hairy‘s finger tattoo by Dava at English Rose in Peterborough, UK.

    “You have eight fingers and two thumbs. Thumbs do not count as Fingers. Why are the 1,5 6 and 10 on the wrong fingers.”

    I’m sorry, who says he is ONLY allowed to be counting fingers? I’m guessing that the 6 is on the little finger because when you put your hands together palms up that’s the logical progression.

    I too wondered if there was a thumb for 10 (way too much time on BME)

    And yeah, I went there with the Sesame Street song too 🙂
