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.

I can see her spine!

Thanks to Rahim (IAM:trexchomp) for these photos. I don’t know how it looks from other angles, but from the side that spine tattoo makes a great picture…

    I’d like to see it in color too. It looks amazing.

    I’d swear that I saw this tattoo featured on Miami Ink, as part of the graphics shown when they cut to/from commercials. Does anyone else know what I’m talking about?

    I wish I’d thought of that tattoo. I wonder if she would mind if I made a few alterations, and had it tattooed myself? I have a feeling I probably would get “no damn way” as a response. Nevertheless, it’s an amazingly beautiful tattoo.

    That’s me 🙂 If you’re interested in colour pictures…I’m sure something can be arranged.

    Nice, but I’ve seen better. (Just crack open your copy of Gray’s Anatomy and compare the erroneously exposed structures.)I’m a former med student who left a certainly wealthy life for that of a tattooist. How’s THAT for irony?!?! HA!

    THIS A COOL TATTOO. BUT I THINK IT WOULD BEEN COOLER IF SHE LINED IT UP WITH VERTEBRA GOT IT TATTOO RIGHT ON HER SPINE. THEN WHEN U CAN SEE HER SPINE STICK OUT WHEN SHE BENDS HER BACK IT WILL LOOK COOL IF IT MATCH THE STRUCTURE OF HER SPINE.
