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.

Think about how it was taken

It took me too long to figure out what this says… I thought it was Gaellic or something, and then I realized the photo was taken in the mirror and Snap Dragon‘s still unfinished piece actually says “PAIN”.

    because of the nature of this persons hip and shoulder area, and the staw-like nature of the hair they look really androgenous. i went to thier page tho and its a lady. surprise! and dang… that thong is somethin else. but i do dig the tattoo though, i really like the font

    I was just about to ask the gender. She is quite adrogenous from the behind, hopefully not as much in the front @[email protected]!

    how could you have any doubts about her gender? She looks pretty feminine to me, even though her body is toned. amazing body by the way, and very cute thong. tats also great of course!

    Even in pictures where it shows the tattoo properly, I still read it as, “PHIN.”
