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.

Tornado Tattoo

This spiral piece is on and was designed by Matt Crookshank… Check out his site for the rest of his tattoos and his art (and him trashing Canada-Denmark relations and having Ron Jeremy review the Toronto art scene) as well if you’re interested.

    I had a look at his other work, it’s “interesting” to say the least, as someone said though, each to their own

    This guys tattoos kind of remind me of someone getting drunk and passing out at a party and his buddys taking after him with a sharpie. I do think the tattoo in this pic is interesting though.

    I wonder how much time he spend making the spiral how he wanted it, or just scribbling it down.
