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.

‘Shaun of the Dead’ calf sleeve

There is no “i” in team.
But there is an “i” in pie.
There is an “i” in meat pie.
And meat is an anagram of team.

This Shaun of the Dead tattoo (I almost misspelled that) is on This Charming Man and is by Ade at Temple Tatu in Brighton, UK.

    It is a good tattoo, but too bad Shaun is holding a shotgun instead of a rifle.

    Is it supposed to be Shaun? The lack of moustache lead me to assume it was Ed? Mebbe I was wrong.
