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.

    I thought some people called him Tim!

    Seriously though, I generally like tattoo themes, but this one isn’t really working for me (no offense!).

    This is amazing. I’ve been planning to have my face and head covered, and a friend of mine recently suggested I tattoo my face and head to look like a snake. Well… I think I will stick to with my original plan for blackwork. But, I truly admire Viper’s courage and creativity.

    Wow! That’s breathtaking. I love how the color of his tattoos brings out the beautiful color of his eyes. And I find his crooked nose really endearing, too. Great photo.

    Viper scales aren’t rounded like those, but perhaps this explains why people keep telling me there is another lizardman…

    @coconutjules: I think you’re right since the bit that I was skeptical about was the unfinished scaling around his mouth.

    Thank you for your comments,but I would just like to say that the tattooing theme that I have chosen is not trying to be scales of any certain description. I am not trying to be or copy anybody else’s tattoo’s it is my own personal choice which makes me happy and am not trying to please anybody else. I was called Viper long before I started my tattooing theme.

    Spectacular! I love it! So sexy! I just love the colors! He is so daring for getting such a sexy, bold, and colorful facial tattoo. The tattoo just seems to fit on him so good. I could stare at that tattoo for hours, its thrilling. I hope he loves his new look, and is having a great time with it.
