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.

This Is Not An American Apparel Ad, Honest


… as much as it may sorta look like one (minus the low-cut V-neck hipster tees and grey leggings, of course). What it is, however, is a couple of kids, very much in love, very much in Sweden, in various stages of undress. Hooray!

We share our love for funny tattoos and bright colours. That’s what keeps us together. We both have knuckle-tattoos, chestpieces, septum and smiley piercings. When one of us does something, the other one does the same thing! We both even have our screen-names tattooed on the other’s ankle. We know, we’re geeky.

Oh God yes, are you ever. But hey, you’re cute, so we’ll let it slide. More shots, post-jump.

    The girl i sickeningly gorgeous and, yes, has incredible breasts that fit her little stature perfectly. Not a fan of the tattoos but each and every one of us has at least one stupid tattoo.
    I’m not exactly sure why there are so many shit talking rock stars on here– reading all these negative comments really makes me think less about the community as a whole. I bet if it was a couple photo of the more well known figures in the modification community there would be two pages full of people eating their asses with positive feedback.

    say something nice and/or constructive or say nothing at all.

    I totally loled at the not an american apparel comment.

    However, though I find these photos to be somewhat stupid and “scene”, I do like the following things:

    -that the girl is just chillin shirtless just like the boy, and it isn’t sexual (except for the first photo)

    -and that the boy is a cutie
