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.

    Nice artwork and very creative but KFC?

    This would be a great piece had it not been KFC to be honest, the subject matter makes it awful, the artwork makes it creative at least.

    that is the most amazing thing I’ve seen in a long time, mostly because it’s bizarre but also because it’s so well done. usually “bad tattoos” are generally shitty but damn.. celctic chickens?! of course being vegan I think it’s insane but damn does it look good.
