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.

“Being me!! It rocks!”

    Hm. Is it the noun or the verb? I like it both ways.

    Made me think of David Bowie.

    And as for the MSI song, I don’t know who did it first, but there’s also a Marilyn Manson song that starts ‘rebel, rebel, btich, bitch’.

    Why does everyone assume it’s easily guessable? My two planned lettering tattoos come from “The Little Prince” and an obscure 7th-century monument. I bet everyone’s wrong.

    Let me clear this up. I was the first to have this tattoo. I am a HUGE David Bowie fan, and am very pissed to see someone with the EXACT same words, in the same font, in the same location. Whether this person copied me or if it was a freak coincidence, I’m still not sure….but yesterday was a sad day after looking at modblog.
