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.

Whenever I see single words tattooed on people, all I can think of is the Skin project (the book tattooed word by word across a ton of people)… Anyway, these fresh 12ga nipple piercings are by Noah at Evolution in Albuquerque, NM.

    lala: from what I’ve read, the story will only be available for those who participated, when the story is completely tattooed?

    I was going to put my name down, but since there were already more people on back order than there were available words I decided to give it a miss. I love the concept though….and the boobies lol)
