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.

Lovely Spots

Wow!!!! I am a giant giant fan of the amazing forehead tattoo that .disturbed. recently had done by Juan Esparza at Wizard Tattoo in Beaumont, Texas. Wonderful stuff — so pretty!

    Beautiful. I’ve seen a lot of lepord tattoos, and that’s the first that actually looks real. Compliments her face shape, too.

    I think it looks very, very nice and really suits her!
    HOwever, and I’m not trying to bait the flame but I’m honestly just curious (i’m a newbie) how in the world do you get a job to support yourself and/or your family with a face tattoo that large?

    I honest to god am just curious, please don’t yell at me!

    First leopard tattoo that actually sort of mimics the texture of the real cat’s fur.
    Others tend to have a nice pigment but lack that extra something that makes it seem tangible.

    This is incredible — I love that it leaves some of her face bare.
    Fabulous work.
