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.

CADD GIRL knuckles

Tatjanaturtle is (among other things) a designer, thus her great new “CADD GIRL” tattoo (computer-aided design and drafting)… This is one of my favorite “nerdy tattoos” to date I think, probably because I took so many years of drafting and architechture classes! Tattoo by Joy Rumore (The Milkmaid, LLC), at Venus in NYC.

    I would love to see more of the ornate designs we can partially see on her hands. The left one looks like its going to open up into something exciting!

    So, are the guidelines tattooed on there, also? Because I think that would be really cool for this tattoo (it is a drafting tattoo, after all…)!

    Tatjana: Yanno what’s sad. I knew that it was anime ace, not comic sans. I make posters at work, and so do 4 others in my office. My friend ed works with a lot of comic book styles and upon learning about the plague of comic book sans, he took to finding another writing like font, and thus anime ace came to our office.

    I still love the tattoo, i just love you more. 😀

    thank god its not in comic sans!

    at first i thought it was, but after looking closer its seems more of a drafting/architectural script.
