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.

TGIF

Well, the week is almost over, which means its time to start thinking of weekend plans.  By the looks of it HelloStephanie, owner of yesterday’s Hello Kitty tattoo, is gearing up for a wild weekend with her cowboy hat, beer and rum.

The roses on her lower abdomen are by Chris Churchfield from Artform Tattoo in Lower Burell, Pennsylvania.

So, now that we know what she’s up to, what about you?  Is this weekend set aside for holiday shopping, maybe doing chores at home, or is it time to cut loose and have some well deserved fun?

    @Big snoop mod: Check out the galleries. She’s got a couple of photos there, including a close-up of her roses.

    Works better if you take the lid off.
