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.

    Awesome Ben just beautiful… I get way to tripped out to do shit like that around my g-ma. I honestly don’t think she notices them. She never even glances at my tattoos piercing or nothing so odd?

    I wish I had a grandma to freak out like that. Tbf though, my mum always goes a bit nuts every time I get something new, and will then proceed to say how she doesn’t like it and wants me to look “normal” again.
