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.

    I like the color, it’s so pretty, and looks so much more finished. I’m kind of nurotic, and it makes me think of a blank coloring book without the color…which makes me want to attack it with markers. And the placement’s great on it, works so well with her body.

    she should leave them black, the color takes away from the tattoo imo.

    i like the clarity of the non filled stars, but the colour gives it a softer funkier look….undecided
