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.

Dallin, Katiana, and Parker

Sorry for my abscence the past few days. It’s been very hectic here! Thanks to Stacy Knight (who started tattooing a decade and a half ago with a homemade machine in highschool — read the rest of that story on his IAM page if you’d like) from Dragon FX (Kingsway Garden Mall location) in Edmonton, Alberta for this handprint tattoo with signatures.

Lane adds, “A good friend of mine Maurice Haun came in to have Stacy finish the last hand print tattoo on his back. Maurice’s children all gave Stacy a piece of paper containing their finger paint hand stamp so their father could have them prints tattooed on his back. The neat thing about them is that they each used the hand they write with and as you may have noticed, his daughter is a lefty.”

    This is awesome. My sister-in-law was talking to me about her idea about having her son’s handprint tattooed on her body and this was the exact picture I showed her for a good example of one.

    Awesome idea! I wish I’d thought to have my son’s handprint tattooed on when he was smaller.

    That tattoo made me stop quickly just scrolling down. It was probably one of the cutest things I’ve seen. It really shows the devotion to their kids. Loved it.
