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.

Celtic Colonel Sanders Tattoo

I just got this email from Ryan at Precision Body Arts, and had to share it right away —

Subject: a weird ass KFC tattoo

This was so bizarre I had to send it along. Nik Kelley (iam:rabid muntjac) got bored here and drew up a KFC Colonel Sanders made out of Celtic chickens, then he somehow talked one of his friends into getting it tattooed on him that same day.

    He’s a mad genius. He has a pretty good group of customers and friends that are into his weird drawings thankfully. Some of my past favorites are a spatula with an indian head dress and tits, and the slush puppy dog eating itself out. This is by far my favorite of his so far though.
