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.

Hooked

This photo comes from SavedMoss, of KenDuddly of removing the hook after a single-point suspension… It also reminds me just how much I like big solid black tattoos.

    That’s a great picture. I love how the glove almost kind of melds with the tattoo.

    That sleeve tat and the black glove go together really well too.

    I’ve got to say, I do love large block black work, but I can’t help but think that arm had so much more potential… Still looks beautiful though.

    The blackwork is cool, usually is, looks like a cover up to, there’s lines of some kind running through it.

    I love the angle of this guy’s arm. Even though it totally isn’t, there’s something kind of unnatural about it.
