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.

    i’ve always been curious as to what it would feel like to be able to move each segment independently.

    I adore her throat tattoo, lovely picture. As for her monroes being uneven, that’s probably because her head is cocked to one side, as is her tongue, and so they just LOOK uneven.

    She is so adorable! I love her glasses. I love everything about her look, actually! I’d like to get my tongue split one day, but I’ll wait and see how life pans out a bit first. I’d have to travel far to have it done anyway!

    Cuuuute. Pic looks strange, girl looks awesome. Love the glasses. Funny but I’ve not seen a lot of symmetrical monroe piercings, I like it a hell of a lot more than just the one.

    I agree with #4…her monroes ARE a bit uneven, and it is NOT because of the way her head is positioned. It is very clear to see that one piercing is closer to the lip than the other…

    with that said…she is freaking hot, if the monroes are a little uneven who cares!
