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 like beards

Donkey boy sent in this picture of his 2+ in lobes but in doing so it included this close up of his facial tattoo. It wasn’t clear if the lobe stretching was done by Ian McKown of Bound by Design in Denver, CO or if it’s the tattooing but either way, it’s getting on Modblog. I like how it flows around and works with his beard and follows up on to his lip.
