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.

    This looks like it may be a Fifth Element tattoo to me: http://bedno.com/photos/albums/20041028/v/5e-02-leeloo-tattoo.jpg

    Yeah, I second that. Though you never know.

    I was going to comment on the similarities to Mila Jovovich’s tattoo in The Fifth Element, too, but I see I am too late 😛

    Yeah, the lines are supposed to represent the elemental symbols.

    HA HAHA HA, you’re right of course… Boy I hope they’re not mad when they see that it got ID’d as a Windows tattoo.

    I’ve always thought it would be cool to get a Fifth Element tattoo… It really looks great in UV!

    Posted on 02-22-2006 23:27:12 by BadlyDrawnGirl
    yup, first thing i thought..

    “Wow.. the 5th element”…

    Has the technology behind UV tattoos grown any in the past little while? Last I heard it was generally a bad idea, but I still would LOVE UV work done…

    Posted on 02-23-2006 00:48:31 by .
    Yea..my husband was wondering the same thing..

    are they more pricey than regular ink tattoos???

    Posted on 02-23-2006 16:03:22 by W13
    I know a few people with uv tats, cost them the same amount than if it was done in regular ink. A fifth element tattoo would have been cool, but now its lost its appeal as it can be confused with the windows symbol.. oh well

    Definately 5th Element. I love that movie immensely, and I’ve always wanted that tattoo. =] Kudos on having it. And I must say, it doesn’t look like Windows to me. And anyway, who would WANT a windows tattoo? windows sucks.

    Thanks you guys… the tattoo still lights up pretty bright. Unfortunitely not alot of artists do UV tattoos. I’ve heard about side effects, and every time I got a UV tattoo I had flu like symptoms within 24 hours of the tattoo that lasted for about a day or two, who knows about internal side effects. Most reputable shops won’t do UV. The ink in thinner than regular ink, and, unless ontop of another tattoo or scar tissue, it has problems “sticking” in the skin. Not to mention any side effects that the ink could have… As of today the scaring is gone you can’t see anything at all unless its under a black light.
