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?

    That colour is wonderful on her, and I hope someday she goes through with it. I think a lot of us with no current facial ink have wish lists that we’d get “if only,” or “when I retire,” or “when I’m fifty.” Mos def, it would be wonderful to live in a world in which we could have them (and the jobs and lives we want) sooner rather than later, and I hope to have a hand in making that world.
