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.

Move Forward or Die


Good afternoon, folks! Here we have a fine submission from dynamo Cleen Rock One in old Las Vegas, Nevada. It appears to be some sort of murderous mutant tiger-shark, which, of course, is right in my wheelhouse. Keep it up, fella.

    I seriously like this. Love the way the design spreads up his neck, so when he’s wearing a shirt you’d just see the top inch or so and wonder what the design is, with no idea of the awesome scale of this magnificent backpiece that reaches down onto his neat little buttocks.

    Seriously, quite apart from the tattoo I’m going green-eyed with jealousy here for those broad shoulders and narrow hips. What a beautiful shape that man has. He’s deffo gonna be my screensaver till the next superb modblog specimen arrives on my screen.
