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.

BooBees

The first photo isn’t really needed but I thought it was funny. Emily got her boobie BooBees done for her 24th birthday by Marco “Gropey” Sullivan of Phoenix Tattoo in Raleigh, NC.
