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.

When He Smiles, I Can See Through His Head


You know the worst part? That unicorn only had one week until retirement.

*pounds fist on desk, weeps into hands*

(This is apparently the first tattoo by Michael at Mid City Voodoux Tattoo in New Orleans, Louisiana.)
