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.

“You are my answer”

    Doesn’t Murphy’s Law state that any relationship about which a tattoo is gotten is doomed to fail?

    It’s weird, I really like the freshly-done swollen-ness of the script, no idea why. Murphy’s law or not, it’s really nice.

    It is a cute tattoo, but it is a shame that now they’re doomed. I’ve never seen a relationship last the tattoo.

    I love how fresh tattoos look. I wish there was a way to keep the redness and swelling of them.

    Although I personally wouldn’t get anything like that (high paranoia and jinxability, etc.), that might just be the sweetest thing I’ve seen lately.

    This is where I’d make a joke about a ā€œfire crotchā€. But only my girlfriend would likely laugh, and this is where I realise what a lamer that makes me… Maybe we should get matching tattoos?!
