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.

    Oh, wow. This is what I would get if my skin were hospitable to ink. M*A*S*H forever changed the way that I view the world and ultimately drove my choice of profession. I have never been utterly dumbstruck by and entry here but this comes close. I’m nearly hyperventilating even now.

    Yeah,that’s Klinger on the side of the arm as well!
    I watched that show almost every day of my life since I first disovered it back at the beginning of the 80′s when I was a kiddie! One of the best shows of all time for sure.
