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.

    I love the idea. Interactive tattoos are fun. I’d be willing to let someone trace something on me.

    I’m sorry but I think that’s ridiculous. I understand the concept, but the tattoo could be better executed.

    I still love modblog. I don’t expect to come here and love everything I see, nor should anyone else in my opinion.
    I don’t particularly care for this tattoo.
    I do agree that the concept is nice, though.

    I think I remember one posted on a lower leg area. a giraffe maybe?

    Roo, you’re not the one who makes Modblog less interesting,
    It’s just that I think we miss a certain someone….

    And I agree with others – The idea is brilliant, the outcome not so much. And I’m referring both to the quality of the tattoo and the way the drawing comes out.

    @Lj: When it returns to its former glory as opposed to limping along like the crippled, sad shell of what it once was. Puerile humor is great and all, but not when it’s a constant, unrelenting stream of unfunny commentary for commentary’s sake.

    Yes, +1 on the “good idea, sucky execution” comments. He could have done something way more interesting with this idea.
