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.

Which side will win?

I’m continuing to fiddle with my anti-scraping script… Maybe it’ll work this time. If not, enjoy Jusn‘s Star Wars tattoo (on vacation in Hawaii) by Jim Valavanis at Highway Tattoo in Sonoma, CA.

    They can’t be nearly as tired of Star Wars tattoos as they are of 75% of what they normally tattoo. :p

    Very cool. 🙂

    I agree with Jedi Kim. They are almost definitely more tired of the fairies and butterflies than of StarWars tattoos.

    Point conceded. Unless the artist is a botanist they are likely totally tired of flower tattoos as well.

    Nothing wrong with Star Wars tattoos. These are one of my favorites, as side from my own.
