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.

Nekromantik Tribute Tattoo

When I was in high school (I think I graduated in ’91 to put it into context… I’m getting old!), these were my favorite movies:

  • Pump Up The Volume
  • Suburbia (1984)
  • Heathers
  • Harold and Maude
  • Nekromantik
  • Der Todesking

On account of the last two, I was quite pleased to see this tribute to Nekromantik by Bud at Evil or Sacred Tattoo in Los Angeles. I know that only a few people will probably appreciate this piece because the movie is somewhat obscure… The wearer tells me they’re planning a second Nekromantik-themed tattoo soon as well.

    I have both Nekromantik DVDs. Great films to put on with no sound for a party or family gathering.
