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.

Oldschool Ghetto Blaster Tattoo

Boombox tattoo by Jeremiah Mcabe in Tribal Image Kustom Tattoos in Michigan. It’s looking a little rough in this first stage outline, but I like the general idea.

    Based on a belt buckle… guess that makes it a little less cool?

    You’ve got a sharp eye! How funny is that, a tattoo that uses a belt buckle as the original art. I guess he had the buckle and really liked it…

    I think the design is based on Travis barker’s stomach tattoo. Travis happens to own the company that makes the belt buckle.

    i couldnt find a decent pic of the tat.
