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.

Do My Balls, Mama


Well, we featured this excellent Angus Young tattoo by Amina Charai of Bright Side Tattoo in Copenhagen, Denmark, earlier in the week, and these wild-eyed flamingos are more than worthy of a mention as well. You know what kind of flamingo wears a bow tie? The best kind.

Another Charai piece, after the jump.

    It’s nice to see pastel colors every once in a pale blue moon…

    A lot of the tattoos people are getting these days are super bright (just like their clothes) even when it’s something that doesn’t need to be. Although this could just be a WestCoast thing.

    These and the Jesse Smith tattoos may be at the two ends of the banana, but I love the colours in both cases. I find these ones quite warm and gentle, like an old book with yellowing pages. oO

    Jesus this is lovely. It’s also a nice break to see very cool stuff and no soft porn.
