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.

    Someone told me, back in the 80′s, that “ride my bike” was dirty talk. My English (particularly slang) sucked and so I didn’t know what to think, but if it is? Yeah, this tattoo works. 🙂
