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.

The Lost Files


You know what? Fine. Marc may be an incredibly talented tattooer, and his design ideas may be among the most inventive in the industry, and he may be one of the most instantly recognizable artists out there. But you know what he can’t win? A race around the world! And … go!

[falls down open sewer]

God damn it.

    like a kind of hand poked effect with lots of crosshatching, mostly in black and a bit of red id say, lots of swastika imagery (in the non nazi form obviously)

    i feel sorry for any other artist who wants to get on Modblog, im not saying you guys favor him, Marc just keeps knocking out amazing pieces!

    its strange that on the right palm (the person’s left palm), the design on the base of the palm is not outlined, whereas the other hand’s is. Not necessarily a bad thing, just odd to me.

    Always love seeing Marc’s work.

    Trailerparkjesus: Looks like they were both outlined at one point and faded, while the one side looks redone/touched up, the other side looks as if it hasn’t be touched up recently (at least not the whole thing)

    beautiful, talented stuff — but makes me wonder how long it would last and when it does heal, how well they heal and how different the look from when first done?

    Very nice design. It takes alot of touch-ups to keep the lines solid/continuous. Looks Great!
