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.

    #24 – if it was upside down it would look exactly the same..:) What IS the story with mirroring it though, is it just an aesthetic thing or am I missing a meaning here? Nice and simple by the way, the wearer clearly has the taste..

    Actually, it’s clearly mirrored, not upside-down. The top is narrower than the base on both the left and right. If it was upside-down, the bottom would be narrower than the top.

    Tatooz are teh roxxors.

    kthxbye.

    #28 seriously? Try drawing a cross with one bold line, and one thin line, then flip it around. Does it produce the result you see here? If so, I am led to believe you have a magical pen OR a magical piece of paper.. 😛

    #27- I just have a thing for symmetry…and i thought that mirroring the X would just look better on me than having them both exactly the same 🙂

    Beautiful tat(s/z). Also cute kitty! (I miss having huggable animals, sadly not allowed in dorms.)
    The only object I’ve ever seen a cat get genuinely frightened of unprovoked is this tiki style totem pole my parents have. My sweet little one-eyed kitty caught sight of that thing and about turned into a chipmunk, fluffy tail and all. We had to get her to “kill” it to be able to put it back up on the mantle. Neither of the cats I’ve been close to have seen a tattoo that I know of.
    /not inked.

    being a typophile, i dont really groove on the backwards/mirrored X.

    it goes against typographic rules and the way letterforms are built.

    i do like the boldness and cleanliness of the letters though.
