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.

He Loves Me!

This is iam:this.cyclical.life‘s let-the-petals-lead-the-way tattoo, done by Martin at Darkside Tattoo in Hamilton, Ontario.

    I like how this is one of those boyfriend/girlfriend tattoo that normally is a bad idea but isn’t because it can be carried across different relationships as well as remind her of the good times of the one that inspired the tattoo.

    I love it! I always hated that most people make boy shorts with the seam RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PANTY. It’s SO fucking uncomfortable.

    I’m almost afraid to ask, but what about that set of panties could be brewing a yeast infection?

    Cute! I love that!

    #17 – I would guess it’s a reference to the fact that they appear to be made of synthetic material, and tight (loose cotton is best to avoid yeast infections). All the cute panties are hell to wear – that really sucks. But I love that tattoo.

    merr, this makes me think of Goethe’s Faust. Gretchen is a complete innocent, being charmed and lured away from the church by Mephisto and Faust. That scene is hilarious, and in the silent movie version, they have a similar font for their intertitles, and the exact “…he loves me!” while she does the flower dealio. Oh Goethe…I want his babies.
