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.

    Look at his chest. It reminds me of the Very similar (in both style and placing) lesbian themed tattoo the “pass around girl” had on her chest.

    That’s an amazing tattoo. Nice way to take advantage of his big hairy belly.

    That’s fantasic! Personally I don’t think he looks sad in the photo at all – he’s staring down the camera. He’s gorgeous!

    (And I always thought a ‘faggot’ was a bundle of sticks used for fuel. I do know that at our local hard rubbish we are allowed to leave faggots out for pick up, but they can’t be longer than 1 metre. Personally, I like to keep my faggots 🙂 )

    #2, I would play a rimshot for you if I had a drumset handy. I don’t think the synopsis from your perception of the picture equals the story, though.

    Thanks for all the comments… This tattoo means alot to me because it was a word used to hurt me growing up in a small town in West Texas. Now I celebrate the word and so it can’t hurt me anymore, as a gay man I get mixed feelings from friends about it but usually people see it as a brave and empowering thing to do. When I go to public pools and beaches sometimes I get people gawking but I also get alot of “right ons” and people giving me the thumbs up. I’m a pretty big guy so I dont really fear for my safety. I love my ink :o)
