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.

    thats so cool. very ancient aboriginal. i know some ancient tribes participated in scarification and often friends scarred friends. i feel like if we still had practicies like that we wouldn’t take friendships so lightly, i mean, would you really wanna just throw a friendship away over something dumb once you had let them touch your body like that
