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.

Want a free tattoo?

    It’s not like his straight edge comment was a proclamation out of nowhere “Hey everyone, look – I’m straight edge!” I think it’s completely within reason to respond to an incorrect assumption about you and your friends in a post.
