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.

Hardcore Tattoo, Part II

    Yeah. I remember the other “hardcore” one. That was an interesting set of responses. I do like this one, personally – it’s cute and has a generous sprinkling of irony/satire on it.

    yeah, but at least this hardcore ink is a little tongue in cheek (um, not that hello kitty has a mouth…)

    nah she mews by telepathy…read shannons link…I just finished reading it all, and now im very creeped out..cos how many kids have hello kitty on their bags! thats just plain wrong lol

    anyway, that is a nice piece of work, my only critic with it, is that to me, I dont believe the main tattoo and the lettering go together all that well, I duno, I think I would of made it a little bolder on the lettering..

    still good none the less
