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.

Black, Grey, and White Tribal-esque Tattoo

You know, I’ve seen plenty of all black tribal tattoos. I’ve seen a growing number of all white tattoos… But it’s a lot less common to see them combined, let alone mixed with all gray tattooing as well!

    That is seriously beautiful, and I admit there is temptation in stealing it. 😉

    If you look at the full size painting closely (http://www.drachenwald.de/pic/luis_royo_tattoos012.jpg) you can totally see that it continues down the legs and on that it isn’t only on her back and arms as it seems to continue to her front from the side of her right bum cheek. Id really love to see a full body piece inspired by the painting. Would be ill.
