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.

From Russia with Love

These two explicit tattoos were sent to me from Moscow. I don’t know the artist credits I’m afraid.

    Next time I see another sorority girl with a butterfly tramp stamp, I’m just going to imagine it’s this butterfly instead.

    The last one is the definition of a real tramp stamp. Awesome!

    it took me five minute’s worth of staring to see why the butterfly tattoo was explicit. then my older brother walked into the room and enlightened me.
