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.

White vs Black in Black and White

The white ink ear tattoo on the left was done by Dave Evans at Mystery Tattoo in Gran Canaria, Puerto Rico, and the greyscale piece on the right is by Pablo Chavez at Tattoo Addiction in Rancagua, Chile.

    Frankly, the white one looks terrible. The one on the right flows with the ear and is mucho nice

    I thought the one on the right was a cover up of the other one when I first looked at that!

    I am the ONLY one that likes the 1st one?

    My opinion *may* be bias, as I love any white tattoos.

    Pedantry alert, but it should surely be Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria (as in the town Puerto Rico on the Canarian island of Gran Canaria) and not the other way round.

    Unless by some curious twist of fate there is in fact a town called Gran Canaria on the island of Puerto Rico as well. Oh, the irony!
