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.

Here is something I have been called many, many times.

    I believe it was Matt Gone (per the interview I did with him – too lazy to check right now) that got a mirror and actually did his own asshole and taint. Can’t imagine this sort of work is fun for anyone involved but definitely interesting

    Not really, it’s far easier to get a job with a tattooed anus than it is to get a job with tattooed hands.
