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.

The War is Over


I know oftentimes it’s the opposite when it comes to tattoos, but I have to be honest: I think it’s probably for the best that he left the nipple out of this one.

    I agree. The nipple gone would have messed up the line of the whole thing.
    It’s interesting.

    I understand keeping the nipple, but it doesn’t make sense as a wound. The nipple is pointing out and would have been the first thing to go.

    If it was a bellybutton it would have been another thing entirely.

    Anton, I don’t think it is necessarily supposed to look like a wound. I thought it was a lightning bolt at first glance.

    Something about the way the nipple is untouched just doesn’t sit well with me… but I’m guessing it’ll look much better once it’s healed.
    & I still really like the design.

    There’s something about skin removal that really makes me want to shudder. Fresh shots, anyway.
