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.

    I’ve gotten a tattoo done at Primitive here in Perth, and the artist (Pinto) is incredible. He uses the traditional method, which I think hurts less than the modern. Hes a great artist, and highly recommended if you’re ever here in the West!

    By the way, awesome suspension!
