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.

People in glass houses sink ships

I thought I’d vaguely follow up on the many are chosen, few are pict tattoo with some tattoos from Boondock Saints, which we’ve been seeing more of lately (there are also some posted on the community site‘s “fan submission” section, although I can’t link to it directly due to their terrible flash interface) for some reason (be it simply that it’s a great movie, or perhaps a little clever marketing as well). In any case, here’s a very small assortment of them from the BME galleries…

There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over, in to true corruption, into our domain.
For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three, and on that day you will repent.
And we will send you to whatever god you wish.

    Cool tattoos, but why the diacritic in Aequitas? In the other tattoo (nomine patris…), I might be wrong but I think the ablative of “spiritus” is “spiritu” and therefore there’s an extra s.

    I just saw that the only one with ablative should be “nomine”. What an ass I’ve been.

    Aside from whatever that was about…great movie. If the second one isn’t as awesome as the first, I’ll be pissed. I almost don’t want to see it…it could ruin the whole love affair.
