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.

    Ewww, I can smell that shit from here. I’m not edge(though I qualify for it), I respect other people’s choices(just hate to be around the smell!), but totally agree with those here that say this pic is really unprofessional for that shop. It also perpetuates the stereotype of modded, drugged up, bad crowd… not a happy sight.

    People who go on about Marijuana boing bad, but drink alcohol are hypocrites. They’re both as bad for you as each other.. Well, There was a show on a few nights ago, Informing that if Alcohol was discovered today, it’d be classified among Heroin and Cocaine for how bad it is for you.

    Illegal doesn’t = Bad. Look at BME in Germany.
