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.

Under the Night


Doesn’t it just feel like Germany has all the luck sometimes? Not to stereotype an entire nation, of course, but when some of your more notable exports include hearty beer, tasty sausages, efficient automobiles and, based on what we have the privilege of posting here, excellent tattoo artists, it’s hard not to be just a little jealous. This beautiful confluence of stippling and blackwork, for example, comes to us from Sonja at Amazon Tattoo in Oberhausen, Germany. See? Jealous.

    Those products, are not the result of a whole nation, but the result of a small crowd of people, who work for some specific companys, whose factories are often in eastern europe.
    It is usually the foundation, which took place in germany.
    To generalize the benefits of an entire nation, means to forget some important facts, like the regressive moments of a modern, european society, which has never worked off the shoah.

    Of course, i know the post of Mr. Ginsberg is not serious at all (and mine is a bit polemic)
