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.

As simple geeky tattoos go, I really like this one on badhairdo by Little Paul at Eternal Ink in Sheffield.

    Tangent: In high school (about 6 years ago), I was in charge of the (16 terminal) network…Needless to say, we spent all day playing half life.

    Anyhoo – I got suspended for shouting ‘Dude! I just owned j00!’. Apparantly that particular colloquialistic form of ‘you’ is anti-semetic. :/

    The great irony is that I was the only kid in the entire school who had any Jewish lineage.

    Yeah. My old head of year was a noob.
