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.

Dino and Tata

Miana‘s tattoo (look closely to decode its meaning) was done by Dave at Bobby Five in Toronto.

    I don’t know what it’s meaning is,
    But in a small section down past her teta, and under the first round thing, it looks like it says “BME”

    I’m not really sure if its so much decoding or finding a few hidden things, at least that’s as far as I got from it.

    2 options for myself :

    1- Buttons for a sort of Winamp ;

    2- A funny cigarette which makes a lot laugh stupidly!.

    I don’t see other possibilities.
