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.

Too cute. Way too cute.

The Kurt Halsey quarter sleeve is by Mike Sizemore at Blue Devil in Florida, the hair, the dress, the smile… it’s like kitten overload or something.

    While Kurt doesn’t like his work being altered, I think she/her artist has done a good job.

    Sometimes I find the random links, more interesting than the actual post. I do really, really like the tattoo though.

    Surely that’s EXACTLY what piercings and tattoos do? 🙂

    In general, I don’t think that how much clothes a person has on makes the photo more or less hot. I think it’s more about presentation.
