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 colours are hurting my eyes. Yes, you are attractive young people.
    Now both of you shave your heads and start over, please, and you’ll look even better.

    Since this is body modification website that advertises all sorts of ridiculous modifications, I never expected such childish remarks. Maybe, along with deleting the myspace accounts you guys created, you should also stop viewing modblog, since it’s not up to your standards anymore either. Shut up, and appreciate someone elses right to express themselves.

    Haha wow… what the fuck is wrong with you people?! Do I actually see someone there attempting to argue with him over his profession?! Seriously, WTF…get a life dude…!!!!!!! Believe it or not, young people with tattoos/piercings ARE allowed to graduate from university and work in the ‘real world’. And the more of us, the better in my opinion 🙂

    Cool hat btw. Where can I get one?! :p

    well, fuk.

    i have to say, the tattoos are actually good quality, regardless of subject matter.
