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.

Even unicorns have bad days

You ever have one of those nights where you’re just in a foul mood, and need to drink away your problems.  You hit the bars, smoke a lot, and down any kind of booze you can find.  After you’re good and sauced, you get into a fight, and hit on someone, not necessarily in that order.  The next morning you awake with the hangover from hell and the only thing your body is capable of doing is getting everything out as quick as possible.

Well, this can happen to unicorns too.  Don’t think that just because they’re all rainbows and sunshine they can’t have a bad day.  You know how hard it is to constantly be happy and prance about with a heart tattooed on your ass?  Well, if you ever see a unicorn out on a binge, make sure to stay out of their way, lest you end up gored by a horn and covered in rainbow vomit.

    Not saying this isn’t an awesome tattoo, I’m just glad that it wasn’t stolen and tattooed on someone else.

    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.
