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 didn’t even know scars could bruise!

The left photo of ACID333‘s blue bonnet and “mourning” glory scarification was taken on day four, and the right photo is healed… I thought at first it was an ink rubbing, but she says it’s actually just bruising from her jeans!
