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.

Oh, that’s real mature.

    it makes me sad when tattoos have so much potential to be really fucking cool but they get ruined by proportion and symmetry.

    Her teeth don’t line up where her face is torn aways and I don’t even know what to say about the legs/feet.

    It’s not the subject matter but the execution of the tattoo. I don’t like the way it’s done, sorry.

    I DO like Shannon’s work.
