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.

Now This Is Just Wrong


I’ll admit that I was totally surprised when the last tattoo by Josh Weir we featured on here—which, if you’ll recall, featured a lady’s nether-regions covered in splatters of blood and semen—was not only not frowned upon, but, um, was actually pretty widely enjoyed by our readers. Clearly, this emboldened Mr. Weir, because he has now checked in with this piece done on his friend Allen—who he calls “a fucking trooper”—which…is kind of grisly, right? Then again, I was expecting him to get raked over the coals over his last offering and it ended up being a huge success. As we’ve determined in the past, I have no idea how you, the readers, will respond to pieces like this; this could get 300 comments of fawning praise, or Weir could be drafted to fight Mike Beer to the death inside Thunderdome. Neither would surprise me, honestly.

    Violence against women in never cool, but at least it’s just a tattoo. Regardless, it’s poor work so it’s not as offensive.

    heh itdiotsy is a good word…

    bad artwork, bad content, shit tattoo in general. i don’t see how anyone could appreciate that frankly, its a naked female corpse with her doo doo and who ha showing. These things make me wonder ever increasingly : whatever hapened to taste and style?

    i love it how people claim to love these tattoos because they are different and they love to see how other people react…. to me it’s a sad reflection of someones need to be noticed. in a way i hope this is the only reason for this tattoo… there is nothing beautiful, creative or artistic about this, and by god i hope it definitely isn’t expressive… i don’t want to exist in a society where people who feel the need to express this kind of thing.
