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.

You call yourself a Misfits fan?

Damn!!!! I really think this is the most intense facial tattoo I’ve ever seen in terms of radically transforming a person’s interaction with the rest of the world… and speaking as someone with a facial tattoo, I definitely feel like this is going to be a shock to his system. Very, very intense; I’m seriously impressed at the size of his FTW balls… Turning your face into a death mask is, just… wow…

    That is not a really nice tattoo. It’s a really shitty tattoo, the blacks are not black and the blending on the greys is well, non existant. It’s applied really poorly. If you are going to ruin your life with a tattoo like this, you can at least hire someone who is skilled at what they do.

    I’m not much of a reader of BME…but I never knew there could be so much judgement and ignorance on a BME forum.
