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.

    You all sound like my grandparents: “Why would you ever want that on you forever?!”, “What are you going to think when you get older?!” Blah blah blah etc. etc. . When did the Modblog community turn into crotchety old fogeys complaining about longevity and gender subversion? Let the GUY be.

    Great mod, I’m just a symmetry freak (probably the OCD) and would need the left eye to match the right.

    i see it more and more. people who like the idea of tattoos but have no idea how to go about collecting them as art. they want something original, so they do whacky shit. it looks silly, everyone knows it, and some are even nice enough to pretend otherwise.
