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.

Nintendo Gameboy Tattoo

 

 

Now that’s a geeky tattoo!

Thanks to The Eternal for sharing his new tattoo by Bear at Exotica in Florida. He also has “NERD” and “DORK” tattooed on his knuckles…

    The lines are really uneven/sloppy. I hope the wearer is going to make the artist fix that.

    Jo- Have you ever tattooed thumbs? It’s not easy. Plus, this is the healed photo after one sitting. We’ve got probably three more sittings until they’re done.

    Posted on 02-08-2006 21:47:53 by Jo from Mexico
    Yeah, I was just wondering if you were going to fix the fact that the left thumb is totally uneven and different sizes per end. Don’t get mad at me, get mad at the artist, it’s not hard to draw a straight line and it’s really not hard to make each bar the same size/shape. If you have other sittings, great, make sure he makes it even next time.

    I’m not mad at the artist. It looks perfect in person. My thumb is round. That creates depth on a photo making it look wonky.

    Looking at it right now (in person), I don’t see a single flaw on my left thumb.
