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.

Tuning Tattoos

As in car tuning: Holley, APEXi, NOS, sparco, Eibach, Recaro, Momo, GRreddy, HKS, K&N logos all tattooed like the sponsors on a competition auto… But you know what I really want to know? Why do some of the logos have their “registered trademark” tattooed, and others don’t… It’s like some subliminal diss at the companies!

    Someone loves their cars. I’d better not show this to my fiance, he might want to get the same thing, and his obsession with cars is bad enough.

    Man, that’d suck when you buy a new car – either get them all removed, or buy all those aftermarket bits again for your new ride 🙂

    I’ve never been keen on the aesthetics of this type of thing on the side of cars, but I have the VW logo tattooed on my calf so I’m not one to judge…

    I am interested however, in how the “Sparco” and “Eibach” will hold up with no outline…

    His skin… not my thing.
    At least the tattoos look relatively well done.
    I knew a guy I wouldn’t but this past. *laughs*

    If that’s your passion, that’s fine. Not for me… Although as a 300 ZX owner and enthusiast, I would consider getting the “Z” done somewhere… Any ideas?
