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?

    It’s not as hard to live with a tattooed face as the non-facially tattooed populous would have you believe.

    With almost no effort I have an entry level day job (I’ve refused promotions to stay in sales) that pays over 35K/yr. Middle Class! Facial tattoo discrimination is almost non-existent. (for me anyway. -anyone else have facial work and notice anything to the contrary?)

    Come to think of it, the only real inconvenience is that I hear the sentence “Is that real?” more often.
