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.

    Oooh, I want something like that now, but my collar bones are being saved for a very special tattoo. Maybe I can incorporate those in there somehow.

    I really like the high nostril piercings and the cuttings flow so well with her body. I think they’re going to look awsome healed.

    in the same breath you say you would hunt someone down for possibly incorporating something simmilar into a tattoo, and that someone else has brands the same as your cutting.

    people talk a lot of shit on here, but it’s really NOT cool to make threats.

    do you think that you are justified? especially when you are not the only person with that same design? should i threaten people that are inspired by my style of dress/style of speech/style of tattoos?

    you dont have to answer, i would rather you just think about that.
