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.

Sweet Zombie Jesus!

Thanks to Cliff at Zebra Tattooz in Streetsboro, OH for sending in this tattoo he did. I’m not sure what the actual story behind it is, but is it bad that all I can think of is Professor Farnsworth on Futurama when I see it?

    He’s only in trouble if there is a big guy upstairs, and if the whole Jesus story was true. I personally think no harm no foul. That said, I wouldn’t get it, but it looks alright, and will definately be a conversation starter.
