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.

DIRTY girl

JessicaLea writes about her “crappy inner lip tattoo” — which ironicly says DIRTY — “don’t let your buddy tattoo you in his living room.” I think that’s good advice in general, although inner lip tattoos can be hard to get right even in the best of circumstances.
