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.

Look to the bottom left

You know, the Shauncey Fury tattoo artist self-portrait was pretty cute, but I’m not so sure that this tattoo artist portrait from Darwin Enriquez at Mithos Tattoo in Caracas, Venzuela is quite as inviting… Seems kind of threatening 🙂

I’d get tattooed by Darwin — he does great work — but not by the dude in the tattoo!

    Is it that pet’s shouldn’t be around when tattooing or what ?

    That’s one intimidating cat, I wouldn’t want to get tattooed by the guy who owns that ferocious beast either.

    Look at the curvature of those needles. That probably wouldn’t feel good.

    (surveying the shop) “Great, a drunken artist with some messed up needles and a freaky cat. No thank you, i’ll take my business elsewhere…”

    My favorite thing about this tattoo is the varying thickness around the guy’s hand and body. It really makes him pop.

    That cat reminds me of the controversial “portrait of the customer’s kitten” tattoo, that turned out not to be her kitten at all.

    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension.

  • What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.
