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.

Ear Tattooing

Cia recently had this tattoo done on her ear by her coworker Jrgen at Pistolero Tattoo & Piercing in Boras, Sweden. The photo on the left is fresh, and on the right it’s healed.

    i just realized how much more comfortable i am looking at a pierced ear than an unpierced ear, or piercings lacking jewelry.

    Hi!
    I just wanted to share these pics since you can be aware of how it actually fades in the ear… Of course I’m getting a touchup, but I think it will fade again since there is mostly shades.
    It’s ink in my ear btw;) haha
