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 sad she has to cover it. This is seriously refueling my desire for some neck tattoos.

    Wow, that makeup works really fucking well! I’m impressed with the fact that it doesn’t look overly heavy.

    Wow, it’s too bad she has to cover them up but in a way I think it’s neat to have that option. Until the day the rest of society catches up and clues in that facial mods are ok, it’s good to know that there’s effective makeup.

    It’s sad she has to cover up. But in the close-minded world we live in, it happens. I know what it’s like to lose a job because of my tattoos. I’ve been turned down because of tattoos more times than I can count. And I don’t even have any on my neck or face! I work at Hot Topic at the moment, so they are ok with me showing off my work. I just wish everyone was as clued-in as they are.

    This stuff really works well. My tattoo artist used it for her wedding back in the day. For her mom. Too bad she regrets covering them up, though. I can’t wait until the younger generations that are more open to modification take over. Maybe then we wont have to worry about getting fired (or not hired for that matter) over our appearances.
