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.

    Diego – Don’t worry, all images will be watermarked BMEzine.com from now on, and they’ll all be “cool-fonted”.

    Well I’ve seen, and done some far more unscrupulous tattoos….. this guy has a very good sense of humor. He was a great client, and lots of fun. Choking the chicken, is for some a great release. Like anything else, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Everything is subjective.

    If the man enjoys to choke the chicken then it couldn’t have been a more proper tattoo lol
