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.

    I really like how they flow so well yet both sides are different patterns. Very well done.

    Ooh. I like these kind of stark black-and-nothing designs.

    #6 – I wonder if there is someone out there who has simple seams tattooed? Either stocking style up the back of the legs, or of the “I am sewn together” variety…

    Surely there’s someone…

    I’m surprised that a lot of people call this “tribal” work. It seems more a mix of Maori and Pacific Island designs. There are obviously bits of it that aren’t either of the above, but whatever.

    I do like this tattoo, though. Very impressive. 🙂

    Luci:

    I always thought that “tribal” encompassed Maori and others, as the very nature of saying that the designs belong to a specific culture denotes the existence within a specific tribal context?

    I’m curious now as to the exact nature of the definition of tribal tattoos within the industry.

    I can’t say much about the underwear he’s wearing – but his pants are gorgeous. I’d love to see him on the street in a pair of shorts.

    Haha, for some reason I clicked on the picture and expected the underwear to go away. I’m a perv, I guess.

    Sweet-ass tattoo, anyhow.

    I’d love to someday have tattooed pants, so I don’t really have to wear any. Someday…when I actually have money…
