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.

Beyond the Chin

I love this movie and I already have a portrait of Emily on my arm.. The symbol is one of the seven gateways to hell and is going to be coloured black later, but I wanted to try out white first!

    That looks really good.
    I wouldn’t be able to decide whether to keep it white, or black. Ha ha.

    Actually it’s the symbol of the planet Jupiter. Saturn’s symbol is inverted with a stroke through the vertical line.

    yep, it’s jupiter… I could see how it looks close to saturn. How it’s placed you can’t really tell if it is up or down. Saturn needs the line through the vertical line like someone already said. A holy cross with the scythe of death coming off it, is how I think of saturn.

    When I first saw this, I didn’t read the descriptions, and I thought she had really weird barbells implanted under her skin XD
