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.

Wings

Kelsey sent in these nice shots (a second is after the break) of her wings, tattooed by Matt at Famous Ink in Sacramento, California. They were taken at Table Rock in Oregon.

    …what’s with the bra marks?? That’s not right.

    Otherwise, I’m not usually a fan of wings but these are great and the photos beautiful.

    Have to say I’m more impressed with the scenery than the tats.

    Oh no! Bra marks??? Heaven forbid the girl wears a bra! Somebody pick up the red phone and call the president! We’ve got a crisis here!

    Seriously though, those tattoos are beautiful :). The second photo and just the idea of the angel wings kind of reminds me of Rinoa from FFVIII, but that might just be because I’m a big nerd 🙂

    Beautiful wings; they look fantastic! And, the scenery of Table Rock’s view of the Rogue Valley is just icing on the cake!

    @17: Eric, I grew up in Medford, but now live just outside Detroit, MI… Miss the Pacific NW something terrible. 🙂

    Thanks to Kelz for both the great wings and the beautiful scenery. 🙂

    Love the photos and the tats, they look great but must say I agree with mg… The redness from her bra stood out (not necessarily a bad thing)… And no, I cant say My bra normally leaves red marks like that … 😉

    Reminds me of the anime Haibane Renmei.

    Looks fabulous, and I for one actually like the bra marks, makes the pictures more spur of the moment than planned and posed. I like. Not that I wouldn’t mind seeing the opposite view, but hey, I like boobs.

    I also thought of Rinoa from FFVIII. The tattoo’s are very cute, I really like them and I think the setting is very appropriate.
