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.

Noughts and Crosses

I never win at noughts and crosses, but this tattoo battle between Bobby Spencer (on his own leg) and Jaclyn Loshaw (both from Dragon FX) definitely wins!

PS – Bobby lost.

    I’m hoping I know the people at Thrive A LOT better than I think…
    I THINK Jesse doesn’t tattoo – if he does, I’m officially horrible!
