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.

    I’m not a fan, it doesn’t look like the dragon was drawn very well, and it looks too rigid.

    It lacks the dynamic feel and energy I’d expect from a dragon tattoo of that size… I say meh.

    Is it bad that my first thought upon looking over the anatomy of the dragon was “I have a big head…and little arms!” *arm wiggle*?

    it is not the bigger the better- i have to say, that i can not say, that this is a nice tattoo- it looks unpretty…

    everyone’s criticizing the tattoo but i think it’s a nice looking piece.

    and i also thought of the ‘i have a big head and little arms reference’

    FUCK!!
    Am I the only one who hates it when people write “meh”?
    It’s like the trendoid version of “whatever”, but in a more apathetic, sneering kind of way. Aaaargh!
    Having said that, I like his tattoo, and his bottom in particular.

    Pretty typical proportions for an Eastern Dragon, they aren’t supposed to have long legs. They are very snake-like in shape/proportion (they fly using magic, not wings). Very true to the form. Nice tat!
