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 WIN!

Ok, not really because to win at this post I had to fail at identifying this one, but I can say with 100% certainty that this is a facial tattoo, and a six gauge nostril piercing by Carrie of Sacred Art, Cortland, NY.

    it’s an illusion, the head is at an angle, not the septum piercing.
    great photo still.

    Am I the only one who likes crooked septum jewelry in pictures? o.O
    I think it adds a not-so-perfect look to the photo. Makes it interesting.
    Beautiful facial tattoos, though. And piercings. =)

    LOVE.
    I don’t care if the jewellery has flipped a little in her septum – come on, they do that! – she looks amazing, and I love that bandanna lol.

    Is this the same girl from the big leopard print face tattoo hoo-ha a while ago? I can’t find it now (read: can’t be arsed). At first I wasn’t keen on the tattoo but its grown on me (not literally!)
    …if I was to have it done, I would have faded the spots at the side though.

    Nice nostril piercing as well, looks neat.
