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.

Ten People at a Time


And so here we revisit three pieces of ModBlog history: (1) tattoos by Jason Stephan, (2) my utter inability to tell apart cephalopods, and (3) glorious animal warfare! This time around, we’ve got a giant squid an octopus throwing down with a damned murderous shark, right there in the ocean, as pirates look on furtively, waiting. Really though, Jason Stephan is just killing it lately.

    I’m not the biggest fan of ocean theme tattoos, I have no idea why because I love the ocean,
    but this is so beautiful; there is no denying it.

    If I had to get an ocean theme tattoo, I would want it to be this amazing.

    sweet, the background bothered me at first but i think the pic just isnt doing it justice.
    at first i thought there were bats coming out of a cave. hehe
    i like this alot more then the previous cartoony tats, although those were technically excellent.
