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.

Skull Finger Ring

This cute little finger ring tattoo (um, please don’t get mad at me for calling a skull tattoo cute, I mean it in a good and very manly way) was done at Hype in Newcastle, UK.

    awwwww, I agree: thats damn cute!

    I really want to see a lil cross bone on the actual joint, pitty it most likely wouldn’t heal.

    Sort of reminds me of the hand from vampire hunter D.

    Did they say who did it? I have ink from three different Hype artists…

    Ash – are you dark-haired female Ash that had corset piercings about 6 years ago?

    Totally agree with you.
    You rarely see that amount of detail on a finger tattoo.

    @JOELTRON:

    I was thinking “The Phantom”, but the Vampire Hunter D reference fits it so much better…

    The detail is really nice, but I’m wondering if it will hold up very well? Even the simplest of knuckle tattoos don’t seem to do so.

    Wow, the shading and detail is amazing for the size the artist had to work with. I hope it holds out.

    a couple microdermals or shallow surface piercing would look pretty rad if done where the skull’s eye sockets are.

    I realy, really like this. Such delicate shading. SOmething I personally haven’t seen on a finger tat.
