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.

Hearts Hang To The Left

Someone commented on this post that my entries lacked text, but I’m not really sure what I can say about this tattoo by , other than I härt it and Mike Moore did the microdermals.

(There will be some more interviews posted soon, to fuel your text addiction).

    Rooh i feel that no matter what, there will always be some haters on modblog,willing to complain for any reasons they can find, no matter how obscure or minimal. Fuck that, this is how you do it and that is it, no more no less.

    Oh, I care about text (although I`m foreign, too)! I would want them descriptions witty and
    humourous – just like most of them are, in the past as well as
    now. You’re doing a great job IMHO, and keep them coming!
    This one, it leaves me wondering why she didn’t place the text in the
    anatomically correct place right where her heart is…

    Niklas, härt is the pronunciation of heart, placed next to the word in dictionaries.

    Bastian, I agree completely.
    I think the way it is looks alright though, but at the same time I’m not very picky.

    The text in that tattoo is pretty uneven, especially on tn the last line. I wonder if that’s what she wanted? Seems unlikely though…

    Actually steph, I have boobs, so it comes forward a bit. But it really is not uneven. I dig it… but Mike actually did my dermals everyone, he is amazing.

    I understand that you do, and that would cause it to come forward, but what I meant was that if you were to draw a straight line under each line, the words wouldn’t be even.

    I don’t *need* more text, but on quite a few of the posts I have wondered exactly what I’m looking at, and I do like a bit of a story to go along with the images.

    That said, I have been enjoying the frequency of posts, I’m not getting much work done 🙂

    I too would appreciate more background on the photo, but I understand that it’s because you’re posting more often, and not everyone that sends in the photos to you will have this huge background info on about the where/why/when/who, so I agree with meh #10, that it seems to be a fair trade. I think you’re doing a good job Roo!
