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.

The miracle of dermablend

Personally I prefer Bronte without the makeup (and thus with her happy facial tattoos), but sometimes you have to go out and do things in disguise to use the invisible but still very real “whites” door instead of the “colored” door. Oh, and as a point of amusement, these are pictures she sent her dad in response to the “how are you going to get a job?” question.

    it’s a shame she should have to cover them up for any situation.

    Unfortunately, that’s the sort of world we live in. :/ Shame, she looks so pretty with the tattoos.

    Personally, I greatly dislike having to wear makeup… and I have a small birthmark on my face so I’m that company’s target demographic. I suspect that this would not be a good solution for me. I guess I’ll keep getting tattoos in hidden places.

    Eyuh, it is unfortunate that she has to cover up – but given that she does, this seems like quite an effective solution!

    This is very interesting, especially from an actors point of view (who has a visible tattoo that needs to be covered up for almost every show I’m in).

    I wonder where she bought it?

    Wow, I need to show this to a couple of my actor friends who desperately want tattoos. As a former makeup designer I promised them it’s possible to cover tattoos up, but they wanted proof. And here it is!

    Yes Dermabled is a wonderous thing, it does suck having to cover up your tattoos, but the way i looke at it as, i can either have no facial tattoo, or have a facial tattoo that i can show off on my days off..
