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.

Tim Burton’s Vincent

The thing I like most about this tattoo (by Sean Wjaun at Tattoo Junkies in NH) is the white ink… Even though it could just be left skin color, I think when white’s used to fill the background of a tattoo it really punches it up quite a lot.
