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.

It’s Raining Men! (And Ladies)


Hey, nobody likes rain on a Monday morning, but if all you’re getting drenched with is delightful rainbow-colored, um, little people?, things could be a whole lot worse. So, c’mon—buck up, guy. Between the stylish overcoat and the jaunty ascot, you’ll be just fine.

    is the tatoo-ee possibly transgender? with the depressed looking androgynous character being pummeled by the male and female stereotype? or am I projecting

    Although I don’t quite get what the meaning is, I love the colors chosen for the symbols. All around nice tattoo. 🙂

    in britain when it’s raining heavily the natives say it’s “pissing it down”, i’d guess this was the inspiration for the tattoo?

    My first thought: What a lovely illustration of extreme introversion.
