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 love it except for the six stars right by the crack. maybe it’s the lighting (or lack thereof har har) but it makes the design look kind of messy. but otherwise, i think it’s really cool and complements her shape well.

    I love the over all shape and flow to the piece, but I’m curious as to what’s on his left shoulder blade…

    I’m really more intrigued by the gorgeous scenery. I know I’d love to be on that porch/deck

    ok, so its a dude. how the heck do you stay that hairless? believe me! if that was me up there in the buff you’d think my butt was 2 NBA players from the 70′s. i gots me some hair! hence the word “ape” in my name. it would seem shaving the whole body to come off like that would be a major ordeal and take a partner to to do it?
    so, just to re-cap if i ever get my butt tattooed i will post it here immeadiatly after! other wise in a few days the tattoo wil be gone…..lost in a see of fuzzzzz………

    That’s awesome. Not overly keen on the stars, but it’s a brave man that gets his butt out for needlework.
