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’ll post you to ModBlog, and your little dog too!

This is session number two (the dog is new; I equalized the levels but you can see the original on IAM and BME) on Kaite‘s portraiture of Judy Garland as Dorothy (and Toto) from 1939′s The Wizard of Oz, done by Loz at Westside Tattoo in Brisbane, Australia.

    Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore… holy shit we’re tattooed to some chick’s back! When the hell did that happen? Oh god, I think some squiggly looking thing is trying to attack us.

    J/k Your tattoo artist did a great job. I love the detail on the hair.

    Amber, when I saw Jamie’s post I scrolled up before reading your post, and it took me a few minutes to figure it out — I was like “I’m pretty sure that’s how you spell Toto…”

    Sorry Kaite!

    That made no sense at all…..Power Rangers and mr. Ed…..oh, I forgot, you’re a little kid…..

    You seem to have a great time coming up with these homo-erotic scenarios….

    And why do you speak for this entire community in that comment.

    There is nothing wrong with me coming on here and having a good time making fun of you. When you did it to me, I explained myself, I didn’t attack you. But like I said before, everybody does it different…..
