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.

“Well, either we’re under attack, sir, or we’re having a disco.”

If you’re going to have a Mechanoid for a butler, make sure it’s a DivaDroid International Series 4000.  Of course the downside is that they tend to be a little neurotic.

Tattoo by John Green from Pärleporten in Uppsala, Sweden.
