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.

Quickie and Dirty Tattoo Miscellany

Grr… I had a whole lot of entries set up to post and then had a couple crashes and lost them. I’ll try and get them up in the morning. Anyway, like I said, this is a quick and dirty post, so let’s start with something dirty by IAM:xDYINGxTOxLIVEx (check his page for more stuff).

I suspect that this tattoo may hurt the client who got it with the ladies (or the guys). Ah, bugchasers. Maybe I’m missing the point of the tattoo, but all I can see is “I <3 STDs”

I like this response to a back inury… when life gives you lemons, make lemonade, right? I’ll avoid injecting some nasty “when life gives you a gash in the back, make…” echo and let the picture speak for itself. Tattoo by Anna at Anna’s Artat2 in Bunnell, Florida.

And speaking of pinups, it’s my old friend Masuimi Max, as tattooed by Larry Brogan over at Tattoo City. If memory serves that’s based on a print by Olivia, but my memory does not always serve.

Um. Let’s branch off into offensive territory. I’ve been getting a lot of concerned mail about this photo. I guess it says kill all the white man or something like that. Brujeria fans I suspect?

Americans use us for wiping their asses
They treat us like pig shit
Have balls and be men
A… trip north

Centuries pass and our race is fucked up
American bastards, they give us dick and…
Forced into poverty,

We are…
Your vengance will be your dark destiny

Killing white boys – Long live the race!!!
Killing white boys – Like Pancho Villa!!!
Killing white boys – Satan takes care of you
Killing white boys – Killing white boys!!!

Machete in hand and hot native blood
Satanic force, looking for vengance
In the north we will take over

Killing white boys – Long live the race!!!
Killing white boys – Like Ricky Ramirez!!!
Killing white boys – Satan takes care of you
Killing white boys – Killing white boys!!!

See, racism isn’t limited to gringos.

But for those of you inspired to come kill whitey, let me remind you that whitey is well armed. I’ll have to do a dedicated entry on it some time, but gun tattoos are very common — many people even get very accurate gun tattoos, including the serial number of their favorite gun. Anyway, this piece is by Hans Martinsson over at Tattoo Martin in Skövde, Sweden.

Maybe you like your evil traditional? Here’s an Anton Lavey (Church of Satan founder) portrait by Rizob Pace at Revolution Studios in Omaha, Nebraska.

On the slim chance that any staunch Republicans are reading this, I’ll give you your own dose of your own personal Satan, Michael Moore. This is by Cory Ferguson at Enlightened Art in Oakville, Ontario.

Now someone send me in an Anne Coulter portrait and the trifecta started by the posting of an Ayn Rand tattoo will be completed. Addictive guilty-pleasure site by the way, check it out…

    that may well be one of the best ‘portrait’ style tattoos ive seen in a long time…actually looks like the guy (rather than an alien or the family cat)

    Revolution Studios is my shop for everything i get while i’m still here in Omaha.

    dont mind their website, it’s was thrown together b/c of the need to get contact info and pictures online and the update project just kinda fell through.

    For anyone who is not familiar, Brujeria is a joke. They have white guys in the band. Their music is pretty fun to listen to from time to time.
