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 know what else isn’t FDA approved?

    The calcium supplements I take daily. Does that mean I’m going to stop taking them? No. Does that mean they’re bad for me? No.

    Really people, most things you consume/put into your body aren’t FDA approved.

    omg that hand….so awesome!
    and calcium supplements arent quite the same thing as a substance going under your skin. i have no idea what UV ink is made with, but comparing it to something found naturally in food, isnt the best example imo.
