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 love seeing videos of big tough-looking guys getting tattooed and looking like they’re in complete agony. It makes me feel like less of a wimp! The tattoo on my foot hurt pretty badly; I can’t even imagine how badly it would hurt to have my whole toe tattooed! Plus, my feet are really tickly, so the buzzing of the tattoo machine would have me all confused between tickles and pain!

    First time I saw a toe tattooed black (on here, not in real life) it actually made my stomach turn. I kept thinking it looked like when I broke my toe a few years back. I wonder if they look at it and get squeamish? It’s probably just me……….. Cool idea though 🙂

    I was loving the music there. My dad used to sing that song all the time when I was little.

    And haha at the facial expressions. Feet tattoos are a blast.

    ANDERS!! Welcome to the BTA!! Watching your face man… brought me back to when I got my toe done… I’m going to be getting that toe done too soon.

    To anyone that thinks they can remain “tough” though getting a toe done… I laugh at you.
