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.

Om Crownpiece

Moving into a less disturbing style of facial tattoo, I like this photo of Metalheart at Amacola Falls a lot and have always liked his crownpiece a lot (and it goes nicely in this setting I think).

    I agree, the setting complements his tattoos.

    I cant really tell because he is not looking straight forward, but his chin tattoo is very nice.

    I Just clicked on the above link #9, It becomes quite clear when you see the whole theme just how the tattoo looks. I quite like that concept Metalheart. It looks good on you.

    Yeah, I did a double take, thinking it read “Liberace”. Whatever, someone, somewhere is bound to have a portrait of Lee adorning them!!!
