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.

You call yourself a Misfits fan?

Damn!!!! I really think this is the most intense facial tattoo I’ve ever seen in terms of radically transforming a person’s interaction with the rest of the world… and speaking as someone with a facial tattoo, I definitely feel like this is going to be a shock to his system. Very, very intense; I’m seriously impressed at the size of his FTW balls… Turning your face into a death mask is, just… wow…

    This is absolutely and completely fucking amazing.

    It’s sad to see so many disapproving comments.

    1) ….he’ll never be able to find a job? If that’s the biggest problem anyone has with this, maybe they should reconsider how they’re living their lives. Our sole purpose in life is not to work, it’s to enjoy our time here. I bet he’ll do more living than the majority of negative posters here.
    2) ….he’ll never get laid again? Preposterous! I’ll bet there’s a waiting list.
    3) ….it’ll look bad when he’s old? News flash, everyone’s skin eventually rots off.
    4) ….the artist was being irresponsible? He did an amazing job and delivered what the customer wanted. This is no different than what a plastic surgeon may do, just different approaches to human enhancement.

    I understand that this tattoo is more “dramatic” than other facial tattoos, but there definitely hasn’t been this kind of response to photos of people like Lucky Diamond Rich… why? Because its been made clear that the others are able to make a living? Is it because this tattoo offends the senses more dramatically because it depicts a skull?

    I just find that interesting. Honestly, I think this was a horrifying decision (but my mother feels the same way about my tattoos, so I can hardly say anything about besides the fact that he can’t just throw a sweater over his).

    I have always had great respect for guys who mod their faces like this, they are truly special people who deserve great respect, especially from those of us who consider modifiying our bodies a lifestyle in itself. I find it exciting, to and humbling to to see beautiful mods like this, I sure would like to have this person as a close and intimate friend.

    I am in med school now, going to go into family medicine and probably some tattoo removal lazer stuff. I think it is a cool tattoo, that being said it will be hard to live with as one gets older, I wish I could give this kid my business card

    Like any piece of art, what can be the most amazing thing to one person isn’t to another. I do like some facial tattoos, just not this one. I think the idea and the result are 2 different things.

    Sick,

    I am sorry. This guy is insane.
    I love tattoos, I am 25% covered myself. And I love skulls and horror tattoos. I have seen many crazy stuff, but this is going to the level off madness. Quality of the tattoo is okay. But what is the moral off this transformation. I can not believe that some normal thinking person who loves modification and tattoos goes as far as this. This guy ruined his life, future etc. If he wants to be a corpse he should have shot himself.
    I think this is stupid and insane.

    Haha, some of the responses to this are rediculous.

    So he got his face tattooed, so what?
    It looks neat.
    I’m sure he KNOWS his chance of getting a job dropped drastically after tattooing his face.

    Stop stating the obvious.

    The quality of the tattoo is neat.
    The dude has pretty eyes.

    The insults being flung his way are so stupid.

    It’s NOT meant to be a Misfits skull, it’s just a damn skull.
    This was already stated mutiple times.

    Why does a tattoo have to have a moral?
    Why is everyone talking about the handful of pimples the dude has?

    Yes, he tattooed his face to cover his zits and he’s going to be so completely devastated by the UNEXPECTED negative response of everyone around him and the fact that he can’t get hired at Starbucks that he’s going to kill himself.

    Are you people fucking kidding me?

    Hahaha.
