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 love the blue shading as well as the coverage on the tops of his shoulders and neck.

    It looks especially interesting when both colors and connotations are contrasted with the camo pants he’s wearing, and the blackwork skulls on his arm.

    This for me is one of the best examples of coloured work ever, even better than the ‘Gamer’ tat shown a month back.

    Just beautiful.

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized.
