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.

    I really like it when people get such a large piece in such an open spot for their first tattoos, it shows real devotion. And of course, that is a GOEGEOUS girl with a GORGEOUS tattoo! Her hair is almost white, I wish mine was like that!
