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 could be full of shit, but I doubt it.

    The meatwad is a tattoo. Which looks very little like the cartoon meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

    The Z? is a scarification (or maybe white tattoo?). It’s straight out of the comic book “Johnny the Homicidal Maniac”

    the branding is just the first part of this piece. it looks a bit wierd now, but after it heals, tattooing will be done too. he wants the piece to have texture, so he went with a brand to achieve it.

    oh so it’s all branding. it’s hard to look at it and not see a tattoo. adding that element of texture is pretty clever.
