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.

    Yeah, the Bride of Frankenstein streaks really work for her.

    I especially like the clever use of negative space down toward the wrist — that’s one of my favorite things to see in a tattoo.

    What gets me most about this picture is how it seems almost black and white, and then there is this striking colour in her sleeve.

    Gorgeous all round.

    I am dittoing #4…I have a great appreciation for well used negative space.

    I didn’t even look at the rest of the sleeve until I just now realized that I hadn’t.
