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.

Listen

Sometimes it doesn’t have to be big or complex to make a statement.  Granted by definition any lettering tattoo is making a statement.

    It was taken right after it was done, so it was puffy and swollen and bloody. Its looking much cleaner as it is healing up. And its done in white but the transfer colored it a murky blue green tone. haha oh well.

    Isa: Yes, it’s really a tattoo. It’s just white ink instead of a more common color.

    eh, often that discoloration from the stencil is pretty short-lived. the yellowing is more what you should be worried about. but it’s in an area that doesn’t see a whole lot of sun, so that probably lowers the chances.
