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.

“Cursed” Love Tattoo

AngelicFruitcake had this love tattoo done by Olly at English Rose in Peterborough (UK, not Canada). I think I’m too superstitious (how embarassing) to get a tattoo like this… the idea of tattooing anything negative on me freaks me out! Before you think it’s all negative though, the other side says “blessed”.

    Yep, HER lobe just got a bit inky…haha…nope, don’t have a blowout, but I agree it does look slightly odd in that pic.

    The only think I can think of is that it may have been caused by the way I was leaning on that ear (without a plug in) while the other side was being done. It was done at the Birmingham convention, so there were just some crappy chairs to be inked on.

    It’s driving me nuts that the outline isn’t finished around the bottom! But I really like the colors.
