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.

    Mike,

    I agree, I would have at least had it wrap at least one more time around the ankle.

    It does look good like this though, and to each his own. Maybe the owner has a baby snake, and that’s its actual size.

    I love snakes and think this tattoo is gorgeous, but I wonder, seeing how so much work on feet does not hold well, what it will look like aftera few years. I wonder if this is healed already. I hope it stays like this, so beautiful.

    even though this wasn’t done in windsor, the fact that windsor was mentioned is enough for me to say WINDSOR PRIDE!
