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.

“Been busy creating”

Girl‘s right forearm, tattooed by Gavin Rowbottom at Feline in Sheffield, and her eight week old son. Interesting juxtaposition with the previous entry!

    That’s awesome.
    Especially as Feline is where I get my piercings 😀
    I really like the font, and the placement.
    And her son is adorable!

    Thank you everyone!

    The font is Mom’s Typewriter & the reason it is in that irregular pattern is so that it also reads “r a t” – which is one of my nicknames as I’ve kept pet rats for 15 years now.

    The word “create” is as a subtle reminder to me, as an artist, to create something new every day. I think I outdid myself with Ash, even if I say so myself! 😉
