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.

    This is a beautiful piece. I’m a tad bothered by the fact that you can still see the tribal on her lower back. Ehhhh…it’s still gorgeous though. =)

    Really, really great tattoo! 🙂 To me, who is born in Sweden, it clearly conjure the image of Yggdrasil, the great world tree from Norse religion.
