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.

No Corpse Can Lie Upon Me


Oh, brother. It’s 12:30 already? Man alive. How about we keep the lights down low for a while, eh? What do you say, ModBloggers? Glad we’re in agreement.

    It’s a myth you can’t get a high paying-corporate-white-collar-professional job if you have visible tattoos. I know plenty of people high up in my (Oil and Gas) industry that do. I’ve never found it a problem during interviews either. My boss sometimes say “Oh you young folk, I don’t why you do these things to yourselves” but he doesn’t hate and he’s a self confessed “old fart” – just sayin’.
