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.

Time Bomb Tattoo

He’s literally a time bomb. You know, it’s probably lucky he’s from not-so-friendly-to-America Venezuala (this was done at Emilio‘s Mithos Tattoo in Caracas by [I think] Darwin Enriquez)… I just don’t think getting a faux suicide bomber look would go over well at LAX airport.

    it’s a nice tattoo, but, i don’t know, it makes me feel a bit sick.

    I agree that this is a nice tattoo and I could see him getting a lot of problems getting through an American airport if they saw the tattoo. The explaining that would have to be done and chances are security probably wouldn’t even let him through. I do like the art though and I like the overall affect.
