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.

Palms Labyrinth

Jen took inspiration for this brilliant set of palm tattoos from Pan’s Laybrinth..

    Actually they look rather pretty if you just look at each hand on its own. It’s when I look at the whole picture and remember the monster from the movie that I get the creeps.
