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.

A Holy Star

There’s not denying that this Star of David tattoo carries religious significance to the wearer.  While my Hebrew is non-existent, perhaps some of our readers could help provide a translation.  Unless of course Jen gets to this post first, as she is BME’s resident Hebrew expert.

If the watermark didn’t give it away, this tattoo was done by Cyber Tattoo, out of Israel.

    It’s an excerpt from Psalms 150: Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

    Rob just means that’s where the shop is located. Sometimes we say something is “out of” a certain place to mean that that’s where it comes from. 🙂

    It looks like it’s the psalm 150 Halleluya. But my Hebrew is pretty non-existent.

    I want a tat of Leviticus 19:28. In Hebrew, of course.

    I love it. I have a similar idea but using the Hebrew words for Faith, family, hope, love and life. I just can’t seem to get the sketch right.
