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 this photo a lot — it’s right out of a graphic novel or something. The deep cheek surface piercing is pretty intense as well, done by Gosha in Samara, Russia.

    Personally, I always preferred to spell it “scrumtrelescent,” but I think I still see what you’re seeing.
