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.

    I love sleeves that all come together like that–not disparate pieces tied together by some background artwork, but an actual, beautiful whole!

    I’m gonna guess and say that the black tribal bicep band is the original piece, and the rest of the sleeve is a later add on?
