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.

FEAR NO MAN

If I ever decide to get tattoos that’ll make me look dangerous in prison (I’m currently more in the “mega-target” category), I think I’ll go to Yaya at Murda Ink in Queens, NY. I’m not sure if that came out right, but I thought this was a pretty good example of “I want a tattoo that’s going to make me look even tougher!”

    Won’t that just make him more of a target to guys who want to prove they should be feared?

    He looks like the kind of guy who could deal with most anybody who thinks they should be feared.

    I’ve always liked tattoos that sit low around the neck, yoke-like. On men especially.

    i’m not sure why, but that tattoo didn’t make me think of tough guys…it made me think of gay sex.

    The first thing I thought of was this guy bent over a toilet in a prison somewhere getting fucked by his cellmate “Cabe”. Then again, maybe that IS what he means by ‘fear no man’? Still…I have to laugh. its a ridiclous boast in any case….and I wonder if he instead fears women? The sign only pertains to men, not WOmen!

    Shannon – Actually, if you think about it, if they really looked at your chest tattoo, the might think you go around cutting guys dicks off. Or something to that effect. Maybe it would protect you? Maybe not.

    I’d have to agree with Wonderland. A good look at your chest piece just might creep out most guys who’d think you were a ‘target’ otherwise, Shannon. 😉

    Not a bad tattoo though. Simple. Well done.
