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.

Al Bundy (Ed O’Neill) Portrait Tattoo

My personal pop culture heroes tend to fall more into the Gene Logsdon category, but to each their own. This Al Bundy tattoo is by Butch at Iron Spade in Port Charlotte, FL.

    Ha ha ha, and it looks like a really huge tattoo, too! Is that someone’s thigh? Either way, i love the style and I’m usually not a fan of portrait tatts.

    I gotta admit it I love Peg & Al.

    Nice quality work, not sure I would have recognised it as Al, had I not read Shannons caption.
