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 want to give it a lolcat-esque caption, but I think I will get killed if I do.

    Awesome tattoo, I’m loving inner-lip tattoos at the moment.

    Family portrait? Looks like a hostage situation to me– made only more amusing by the content of the tattoo.

    I agree with it looking like a hostage situation–the look in the kid’s eyes makes him look a little terrified 😛
