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.

Clack, Clack, Clack.

Beetle of Chrome Ohm Tattoo recently had his friend Derek Noble (Lucky Devil Tattoo, Seattle) tattoo lobster claws on (well, near) his handwebs!

You wouldn’t believe how fun it is to go around pinching stuff, I even giggle like a schoolboy when I pee!

    I’m usually not a fan of hand tattoos. Not because I think people shouldn’t have tattoos on their hands but more because I hardly ever see anything that I think really looks the business. This, however, I think looks bloody brilliant and I would like to shake that man’s hand if I wasn’t so afraid of the pinch.

    yea i d like to think that my idea is pretty original, im sure somebody somewhere has done it before though. I called Derek shortly after i thought of the idea because he recently relocated to Seattle, he seems like a real nice guy, so im sorry if he “ripped off” your idea for the pegleg apathy, but like i said someone has probably done it before or thought of it way before we could imagine. the important thing is that I, or He, got it done before somebody else and you didn’t.

    sorry if i come across crabby, i just hate it when people say, “oh! i thought of that first” yet they don’t have anything to back it up..its so childish!

    but i digress, the tattoo is alot of fun and people really like it, i plan to paint a flash set of similar “functional tattoos” soon, and maybe post some pictures of me squeezing boobs! haha
    much love,
