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.

    Nice chestpiece, though not very original in my opinion. It all seems a bit “scene” but it still looks cool.

    LOL @ #8

    Will everyone leave her make up alone? Way to knock a girls confidence!

    And who gives a tiny rats arse about whether or not things are “scene” Surely a lot of people (more than would care to admit) get tattoos just to fit in somewhere? Which boils down to “scene” aswell.

    I lover her chest piece though, the colours and style are amazing.

    since when people, like you guys, become juudgemental? i thought you are the sort of people who hate being judged by the looks. i want to believe that her make up has some cultures we cant see – that why i wanna see her culture by talking to her. i hate people who are non-conformist by conforming to non-conformists – coz they are same as normal people.

    Brichin, I agree, too. People bashed my makeup in the post Shannon Larratt did on my pic and I was really, really surprised. I thought that people who tracked blogs like this would be far more open minded — maybe I’m very naive?

    Personally, I think that all modes of self expression through transformation and modification should be embraced — especially by those in the community of bm.

    Also, I think she’s lovely.

    We can debate the pros and cons of her makeup until we are blue in the face, but no one is asking the serious question: Where are all these 14 year olds getting money for these big ass tattoos? COULD THE SAME BEINGS WHO BUILT THE PYRAMIDS, STONEHENGE, AND THE ROSWELL CRAFT BE TO BLAME??

    she’s a pretty girl with a pretty tattoo. i like how it ‘flows’ well together. the blue background makes the heart stand out really well. it’s a good one.

    i LIKE her make up. it shouldn’t matter if she wears make up or not. she’s beautiful EITHER way and she shouldn’t be called names and put down just because someone doesn’t like it. (i know the make up thing has been beat to hell but i just wanted to say that)

    i’m assuming most of you have mods of some kind (but i could be wrong) and i’m sure most of you been judged at one point in time or another and it’s surprising some of you are continuing the negative cycle. and i agree with #33 and #34. it’s shocking that a lot of people are being so judgemental. especialy here like they said.

    i think pretty much any form of self expression is beautiful whether it be hair, make up, piercings, tattoos, the clothes you wear, etc.

    and i LOVE LOVE LOVE her self expression. she’s beautiful and has a great tat.

    props to her.

    Wow, I appreciate the last few comments of people actually seeing the ignorance in a lot of these comments and dismissing it. But holy shit, where did that one come from? Since when can you assume someone’s age and use that as a backing for your argument. Well 38, im sorry you are horribly mistaken, I would hate to dissapoint you but Im not 14.
