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.

Cute Racoon Tattoo

I think every tattoo that Rich Bustamante has sent me has been top notch, but I particularly like this racoon.

    ^^^Agreed. Those little bastards are ballsy too. They’ll walk right up to me and it won’t even faze them. They won’t run away until I yell at them and act like I’m gonna kick ‘em or something. Do they sell racoon traps?

    It looks so cute and surprised! Like someone just caught it scrambling up this guy’s arm, and it suddenly suspects that it shouldn’t be there…
