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.

This is a “STUPID” tattoo

…But will he regret it? By Derick Allen at Skin Deep Tattoos at Winter Haven, FL.

Sorry, I do not have an answer right now to your “why” questions.

EDIT: I just got the following note to share:

He had been thinking of this tattoo for two years and finally did it… Derrick Allen at Skin Deep Tattoos here in Winterhaven, FL said — and I quote — “if you’re stupid enough to do that, I will do it for free”, and then it was all done. There were thirteen people in the booth with camera phones, digital cameras… it was crazy! People were calling friends saying “dude, you won’t believe this…” It was the best… he has more crazy facial and head tattoos coming including “something” down the side of his nose and a bullet hole on the back of his head. Everywhere we go people try washing it off, and take pictures with their phones to send to friends! It’s great!

Anyway, I posted loads of stuff today here so don’t be mad if I take tomorrow off (from ModBlog). That said, I’m working on adding some guest bloggers here, so maybe there’ll be posts other than my bursts of rambling and random pictures soon.

    apologies if someone has already spotted this as i missed it above, but its just occurred to me that when he looks in the mirror he would actually see DIPUTS… (albeit with the letters the wrong way around… that’d amuse me more than the word STUPID on my head!!

    Just seems silly (not sure why) and mildly amusing. The disturbing part in the whole of this thread is “Could affect your career prospects mentality”. Judging by appearance is the root cause of racism and most of the other irrational prejudices against other humans Anyway why should we let boring bastards rule our lives, so called “good jobs” aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. For a start they stop you having a life ( this comes from a 53 year old who looked into the career abyss and backed away rapidly)

    er… he could just wear a hat surely? at least it’s what he wanted, someone i know ended up with a pinapple with the motto “Scotland the BRave” around it due to being unable to describe a thistle properly to a Greek tattooist.

    And my ex wanted oh-so-much to have a pheonix flying from her crotch… forever after i called her “Heron-Pants”…
