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’m suprised at how many people haven’t heard of the shocker. Hah. 2nd shocker tat I’ve seen, I still prefer the zombie one over this one though.

    Not heard of in my neck of the woods. Im sure a girl would get some shock alright receiving that.

    I actually have seen this tattoo before. It’s still funny though.
    I also am surprised that there are people for whom the shocker isn’t instantly recognisable.

    Hahaha. Too much man. Reminds me of last weekend when I saw a guy at a grind/metal show with a shocker T-Shirt. He had a real sick pedophile mustache and as it turned out he had a fondness for the supple shoulders of pretty emo boys. I was on the balcony.

    I think someone (maybe me if I can pull references together) should update that Wikipedia Shocker page. The “Notable Appearances” section has the photo of the Witchita State cheerleader showing a variation that is properly called “The Juice Maker” where the thumb is kept extended for clitorial stimulation. That popular reference may well be known to those in Witchita, as the well known Kansas City DJ Johnny Dare makes frequent mention of it on his morning show, and his show was (still is?) rebroadcast via pirate radio in Witchita.

    They used to have a gallery of shocker photos, but they’ve jsut had site redesigns, so those may be gone.
    Many people have heard of the shocker, very few have tried it. I must say, it gives me a hand cramp after a bit. 😉
