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.

Candice and her boyfriend Andro (who tattoos at Haunted Tattoos and Piercing in London UK, specializing in dotwork and whitework) recently travelled to Thailand and he tattooed one of the guys at the studio he was working at there… This is the amazing result!
