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.

No more wearing shorts for Tyler!

And I thought my tattoo forever branded me a deviant… without a doubt 7yler has me beat in that department with his recently Tijuana donkey show tattoo by El Kike at Pinz and Needlez in Edgewood, MD. He’s going to hell for sure, or at least should expect to one day have someone use his tattoo against him in court.

    I really like it. I think the style in which it was executed, reflects the whole “trip to Tijuana to see a donkey show” feel. Perfectly. It is brash, rank, and funny as all hell. It is brilliant.

    As to the discussion about hiding it from possible view by children, I think that is a personal decision for the person who has the tattoo. It really isn’t anybody else’s business. If we want to make rules regarding what people can show on their bodies in public, where are we going to draw the line? I would prefer people not to eat steak in front of my child, as I want her to not learn how good red meat can taste. Obviously I am kidding, but I think you see my point.

    Holy freekin’ ridiculous, all this drama. I am modified. I teach 2nd grade. I have 4 kids, all teenagers. When I am at work, I generally wear sleeves, but not always. Children are naturally curious, and some of my students have asked questions about my tattoos. None of my “public skin” tattoos are explicit, and I answer their questions as honestly as I can within the boundaries of appropriate discussion during school. I have tattoos that are explicit also, and some of them have been intended to be seen only by my husband. My own kids have seen some of them accidentally, and we have discussed it. They are bright, well-adjusted kids who have minds of their own.

    I would rather have my kids see this donkey tattoo than view some of the gratuitous violence that TV offers for free. My kids would understand that the tattoo is a JOKE, and not something they should run out to emulate. My point is, if they didn’t understand that, it is MY JOB as a PARENT to let them know that. To expect the world to cover itself in bubble wrap to insulate kids from reality is laughable.

    At what point did this tattoo come anywhere close to being reality?

    My friend’s children talk about war. They have parents in the military doing tours of Iraq and they don’t know if mom/dad are coming home. They worry about losing their parents and being alone. If their parents aren’t in the military then some of their friends parents are.

    I don’t think a joke porn donkey show tattoo is going to make a dent right now to the kids I know.

    And yeah, I live close to Mexico and the donkey show isn’t as common as the whorehouses in Boys Town…but it’s definately NOT an urban myth.

    Hahahaha. This turned way too serious. It’s a tattoo on my body, not yours, and I couldn’t be more happy with it. Chill the hell out people.
