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.

It’s just makeup 🙁

Her nice big piercings of course are real, done by Onkeltom at Tom Tom in Stockholm, Sweden, but Anna’s blue facial tattoos are of course just makeup. I love them though… it’s too bad the world isn’t more permissive… Can you imagine how beautiful an experience it would be to walk down the street and see nothing but people with a myriad of appearances and visages like this?

    This is the kind of make-up I like. Not to hide features you don’t like, but to add feature that look fuckin’ cool.

    When I was a small child I saw a pic in National Geographic of a native tribe in Brazil (I believe…it’s been many years ago) and they would tattoo a black vertical stripe down the center of their noses to make their noses look longer and thinner. (A long thin nose being a sign of beauty.) I loved it.

    I would draw a line on my nose with an eyebrow pencil whenever I got the chance. I would draw pics of people and always put a line down their nose. In my child’s eye it seemed beautiful and natural.
    Then school… =(
    Now that, as an adult, I have slowly reclaimed my self (my will to be wierd as my friends call it) I am seriously thinking about that simple black line again. Make-up or no, this pic made me think of it…and esp Shannon’s words.

    I don’t think we are all that far off from being a society where these are everyday things. Body modification spans several generations and I believe that by the time today’s youngest generation become adults, Society will be completely comfortable with BM. I have had people try to dissuade me from guaging my piercing or from getting tattoos because of employment issues, but I would think that by the time I’m ready for a steady job to support myself and possibly a family, my employers might be even more pierced/tattooed than I.
