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.

Wait in the Fire


I have precious little to add here: This picture, courtesy of Hannah, is one of the coolest tattoo concepts I’ve seen in a very long time. Kind of wish we had some unobstructed shots of the entire project, but we’ll take what we can get. Just great work all-around here.

    WELL OF COARSE NAME-CALLING IS “IN” THESE DAYS, “NEUROSIS.” THANKS FOR CLARRIFYING MY POINT. YOU SHOULD TAKE MY ADVISE AND STICK WITH “TOASTER” – I THINK YOU’RE BREAD IS BURNT. SPEAKING OF MENTAL ILLNESS – WHY IS IT THAT EVERRYONE LIKES TO COMPLAINE ABOUT TATOOS THEY MIGHT NOT WEAR THEMSELVES? THA’TS LIKE ARGUEING ABOUT POLITICS IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN(AND I THINK U DO).

    Why is it that people can’t use the English language properly any longer? Sure, I can understand the language used in SMS and texts, but to spell complain “complaine”, tattoos “tatoos”, course “coarse”, and arguing “argueing” is ridiculous and of a level of which a slightly educated child could surpass. Perhaps, Warborn, your first language is not English? If so, get fucked, learn to speak it before using it insultingly.

    Wow, “Neurosis.” Just wow.

    You might want to consider an anger management class or something along those lines if a comment on a website has you so riled up as to continually attack someone’s character because their abilities are not up to your “standards.” Telling someone to “get fucked” is quite mature. Good for you. I hope you feel good about yourself.

    And I have to say – even though the way the message is being conveyed is a little rough, Warborn seems to have a pretty valid point. Seems like a lot of “complaineing” over nothing. Why bother to go through the effort to fill out this little comment box if all you’re going to do is talk smack about something someone else has on their body?

    Because that’s what the internet is for. Talking smack. And not much else.
