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! Always wanted a tattoo on my ribcage near my breasteses (like a boobscape instead of a cockscape hehe), you think that would be a good area in case of weight gain? Its the only thing keeping me from getting it!
