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.

Dude, there’s a cooter on your skull!

Remember the Cockilus? Well, Urea is real pissed at his tattoo artist because he thinks the cracks in the forehead are too suggestive. Sheesh! A bucheta pretendida! Tattoo by Rafael at Urea in Joao Pessoa, Brasil.

    dear god, if that wasn’t planned the artist really needed to get laid because his freudian slipped. What I don’t get is this, if you see the drawings first, how do you not notice and reject it before the transfer is ever applied?

    Dude…I can’t see that as being accidental in the slightest…It doesn’t even look like a crack :\

    quotidianlight – I think Shannon was being sarcastic *cough*. I’m pretty sure that the tattoo appears as Urea intended.

    yeah.. people really need to look into the plan before getting inked.. or if its that far from the original, then be really pissed!

    I kinda have a feeling this is how the tattoo was ment to be too :S maby?

    I agree with Ausmoz, it was a sarcastic comment.

    It just makes me think of that joke about the guy with a wooden eye in a bar having a drink with the guy with a vagina on his face……. then again, that’s my sense of humour.

    If you’re a big stupid idiot and you make an appointment with one of my co-workers, he’ll work a penis into your tattoo that’s just obvious enough that you won’t notice it at first, but eventually you will. Call it karma.

    He’s also good at using lots of pink and purple on dudes who make a point of being over-the-top macho and homophobic. And he ALWAYS gets away with it.

    Nice tattoo, by the way.

    i think the whole thing with working a penis into a tattoo is pretty shitty and unethical tattooing, but that’s just my opinion. those big stupid idiots still put food on his table and trust in his hands. meh.

    I highly doubt an obviously skilled artist (such as the one who did the tattoo) would really fuck up someone’s tattoo like that. I’m sure the client wanted it there.

    the funniest part of this post is all the people thinking it actually was an “accident”.

    SERIOUSLY!

    😀 hahaha.

    Nyne – that was my ver first thought after reading the first few comments… all i could think was ‘WHAaaat?? they think it an actual accident?? No way… they must be just fuckin with us… there’s no way they think thats an accident”…

    .. and then i kept reading.. and then people kept beleiving it…

    i’m sorry.. but…. yeah i just wont say it…

    Never underestimate human stupidity.

    The for-lack-of-better-words “huge vag” would appear to be an intentional element of the design. Urgh. The sarcasm in the caption is painfully obvious.

    Cool tat.

    Portugese – what a god-forsaken language….

    Also I agree with Lizz – Urea’s nipple piercing looks a little suspect to me…

    However it is rather a good tattoo, not really my thing, but good all the same!

    p.s. how does one link comments to their iam page? Do you have to do it via modblog on iam or…?
