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.

He calls it his “necklace” tattoo

It’s quite huge and continues all the way around the back. The work is by Joseph at Big O Tattoo in Lincoln, NE. If you’re interested in seeing more, check out Modster‘s page for pictures from other angles.

    I like that tattoo a lot! Seems like I’m drawn most to abstract, conceptual stuff like this…

    (and the canvas isn’t bad either!)

    I really like the way it fits into his body shape. It just feels like it moves liquidly with the lines of the torso.
