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.

    of course the owner of the tattoo loves it!
    now she can tell everyone she’s got a backpiece, quantity my friend.
    plus it’s behind, she will not be able to see the flaws anyway.
    a tattoo artist better not date her or he’ll end up scrutinizing her behind instead.

    “please produce better english in ur comment”

    That’s rather hypocritical, don’t you think? You shouldn’t be commenting on somebody’s English when you can’t even be bothered to type “your”.

    Actually kyss, the proper spelling is ‘kindergarten’.

    …Man, I’m enjoying reading the Jerry Springer theatrics. Please keep on arguing =D

    Its just funny how people are assraping each other just because some of us can’t speak proper english. Sigh.. I thought we were a community… guess I was wrong. May the man with the best English win then.

    no offense to you kyss but you should really put more thought into your comments before posting them. that way you wouldn’t be posting 5 or 6 comments in a row and so blatantly laughing at someone for what you thought was a mispelling like you did. i have seen you on tv and understand that you are more of a chinese speaking person, but calling him a “fucking idiot” for what you thought was a mispelling is unneccessary and worse then them critisizing the artist for his work isn’t it?

    looks like shit i rekon. a tatt is meant to look like a tatt, not a painting. i dont know why people insist on colouring their whole bodies with art. if you want a painting, put it on the wall. if u want a tatt, get a proper one.
