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.

“Divine” Inspiration

Jesus doing a keg stand on IAM: vicvile. Clickthrough to rotate.

Myself and my tattoo artist friend (Pat Attack) got really drunk at a party once and I blacked out. The next day he told me about a conversation we had about tattoos, and that I had said I wanted to get this done. Eight months later he did the outline and four months after that he finished the shading! Jesus was a total party animal, you don’t think that time down by the river was the first time he turned water into wine do you?!
