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 Walk Around Somehow


I have nothing to say about this picture, because I am dead. I am dead, and this picture killed me. I’ll let the new father take it from here:

Grahm Brian Clemmer, born 1:51 a.m., March 17, 2009. This was right after delivery. I got this tattoo well before my son was born. I wanted him to know that I would always be there for him.

(Tattoo by Heath Rave at Captive Elements in Blaine, Minnesota.)

    Everything about this photo is perfection, the tattoo the baby, the child’s hand gripping onto the fathers, it’s perfection.

    What a lovely picture; my wicked crusty old heart just melted. I love the way that beautiful innocent child is holding on to his father’s rather nicely tattooed hand. Makes me wish I’d been a father, or a child with a dad like that!!!
