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.

    BTW, you can find the artist on IAM as IAM:Chandler (although that’s dedicated more to his body suspension work)

    Was this lady featured before with just the swirls on her shoulder? Both her and the design seem familiar and part of the design seems more healed than the rest… Is it just me going mad?

    It’s not just you, I’m pretty sure she, and the swirls on her shoulder, have been featured on here before. Totally gorgeous, btw.

    looks like the beginning of a huge scarification back peice. 😮
    ’cause everything she’s got done so far fits together very nicely.

    I’ve always loved the idea of getting something like this, but realistically I don’t think I ever will. I’m so glad to see it on someone.
