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.

Filia Caedus: Daughter Slaughter

Sean sent me this picture of a tattoo he got for the joke band he’s in with his two best friends — “Daughter Slaughter” (which they translate into Latin as “Filia Caedus Caedes”). Anyway, the reason I’m posting it is the photo got me thinking that there are some modifications that force an inherently humorous moment a la the left half of the picture. Guiche piercing is up there as well… Especially for piercers that make their clients get on all fours on the bench.

    You, my friend, are ridiculously attractive. Even when clamping your own lip. (Especially when…?)

    Intersting way of holding down the lower lip for the tattooist. I guess that’s probably the easiest way of doing it…
