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.

Dropping Hearts

You know, it’s a sign of my general depravity that when I see this very cute, very charming heart-bomb dropping tattoo (c/o Kipod Tattoo in Tel Aviv) I’ve got Nick Manning’s catchphrase stuck in my head… My second thought was “that plane has no pilot!”

    I had to look up Nick Manning. I feel all naive and innocent. 🙂 Well, felt.
    Nice tattoo idea but yeah, wont the plane go down and combust? Maybe that’s the idea.

    Clearly, the Pilot is a carebear. My favourite carebear. They call him the IDontFuckingExist-a-lot bear.
