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.

Now that’s full body tattooing!

If you need to know how far the ink goes in, click away… And I was wondering — how do you approach an artist for this? I wonder how many would say yes?

    Wow! Talk about getting a sensitive area tattooed!!! I’d say the artists who’d say yes to this are the same ones who perform anal piercing.

    I thought I recognised my arse!

    I’ve always been of the mind that, if it’s flesh, it can be tattooed – so that takes in the whole body, arsehole and all.

    I cheated pain-wise and used some Emla to start with a couple of Xylocaine squirts part-way through. As with all tattoos, cleanliness is paramount. With the anus tattooing, I also used Preparation H which helped a lot.

    So far, I’ve had three guys work on the area. And I can see some areas that need re-work.

    Chris, I’ve had a number of ‘sittings’ with my mate and I’d need to ask him if he was prepared to have a guy just ‘sort of walk in’ for an arsehole tattoo. His reaction to my own request was that is absolutely no problem. He’s based in Wales so it’s either another country altogether (if you’re out of the UK) or a bit of a drive. I like the town where he is based and there are several B&Bs so stop-over accomodation isn’t really a problem. My moniker gives enough info to indicate I don’t mind travelling to the guy.

    If this gives you enough info to really want him to work on you, send an email via Shannon (if Shannon is OK with being middleman in this case) and I’ll get back to you.
