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.

“Chloe has pictures like her aunt aunt Holly’s — the tattoos (the real ones) are about a month old in this photo, done by Javi at Tusk Tattoo in London.

    Haha, far from a little angel! She’s a devil child, but very cute and amusing at the same time 🙂

    I love the picture, and I feel compelled to ask:
    Why isn’t it also filed under BMEgirls?

    kleptesvirgo – As a general statement, I feel uncomfortable with people who are underage being in that gallery because I know there are people who visit the BMEgirls subsection because it turns them on. If it was just Holly, it would of course be filed there.

    It’s pen. She’d been drawing on herself and decided to give herself some lipstick!
    She originally drew a green and red circle on herself to copy me, then her Mum turned them in to leaves 🙂
