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.

This (the “Gang Bang” text) was done by Ienjas at Body Design in Gent, Belgium. I’m assuming in part because of the male-female double-standard that it will not generate the same reaction as Michelle’s tattoos

    Crass & immature spring to mind.

    It seems sexism in tattoos is fine in some eyes.

    Unlike the phrase “Fuck my whore ass”, the words “gang bang” have more than one meaning. I’m curious about what he means– he wants to GET gangbanged? He WAS gangbanged? Life’s a gang bang? I personally looked at all the nekkid pinup-y chicks and wondered– does he mean he wants to gangbang them?

    So, if you’re looking for a male tatoo that really uncovers the double standard you suspect is inherent in the convo we all had about Michelle… I’m afraid you gotta keep looking!

    It’s certainly not as provocative or striking. I’m not especially fond of the pin-up girls, they don’t look very well done to me.

    Vampirella on the right side?

    I agree with the others, I’ve seen some much better done pin-ups.

    Again, as far as the text goes, some context is required before making any sort of judgement – but in general, this squicks me out a bit more than Michelle’s.

    The main reason is line between fun and rape can be crossed pretty easily in that context. The fact that we just had a gang rape at my local college likely colours my views on this at the moment, though.

    Just as, before the interview, we could only take a guess about Michelle’s motivations, we can only take a guess about those of this guy. I personally do not find either appealing, and my (probably wrong) guess is that this guy is pretty sexist. That comes from the pin-ups though: “Gang bang” is not a fully formed sentence and is therefore too ambiguous to judge.
    On the other hand, I loved the explicit tattoo of the vagina – I really don’t see it as anti-woman, as it’s a much more truthful, much less “gosh I’ll write rude words” explanation of what the guy happens to like sexually.

    I don’t think having fantasies about a “taking turns” sort of situation is inherently sexist; some of my favorite lesbian SM erotica is about exactly that! 🙂 Who is that sexist against, and who is being sexist?

    Though I do find it fascinating that so many people are all “I can’t assume” about this one, when they felt very free to do so about Michelle’s tattoos.

    “I disagree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” So fucking kudos to Michelle and to captain gang bang for fully embracing the spirit of not caring what people think of the choices you make with your own body. I’ll take a shakey pin up girl and an offensive phrase over a nautical star and a tribal butterfly any day!
