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.

Simple Lines.

I just love willy_woosh‘s tattoos! He’s from Brighton, UK, but is currently living as a yakuza agent mild mannered English teacher in Osaka, Japan.

    The tattoos are really cool, and the body’s not bad either! 😉 Gotta love those mild-mannered English teachers.

    They are stunning tattoos (and a nice chest too). Though I’m with the_logic_of_crocodiles; I’d love to see what the inkwork looks like with him stood all cruciform.

    My (male) friend just walked by, and without really thinking about it, said “I’d hit it”.

    Seconded. I am very drawn to line tattoos for some reason, and I appreciate that they get posted here fairly often 🙂

    The lines are so nice! Sometimes simplicity is the way to go. Those are just stunning. I don’t think it’d look better if the lines were connected.
