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.

Awwww! Stars in love…

    This reminds me of the “Industrial Love” picture that was posted some time back. It’s really cute. Makes me smile when I see it.

    Most of the time, I think star tattoos are overdone (some have good meanings or just plain look cool). These are just cute, with both of them in the same placement.

    Aw, My ex husband and I have matching star tattoos on our hands. Since he’s now my ex I’m really glad I said “no” when he suggested we did each others names. So, now I don’t have “Frank” written some where on my body that I have to hide or cover up. 😉 Even tho I could change it to “Frankenwienie” and tattoo a Frankensteinesque dachshund under it. Haha, It would make sense since, I do have a wiener dog.
