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.

Speaking of nice blackwork

People said they liked Morgan’s tattoos that were featured yesterday, so I wanted to post another half-sleeve of blackwork that I quite like, this one on Theo by Dave at Bunker Tattoo in Breda, The Netherlands.

    I keep liking all this blackwork I see more and more, even though I never used to be a fan… I might even have to think about a blackwork design when I eventually start my sleeve!
