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 usually not a big fan on UV tattoos, but this has to be one of the nicest I’ve seen.

    cool beans… i have wondered about UV tattoos though. and had a couple questions for somebody…
    first of all, do you have to hold your hand up to a light bulb first in order for them to glow? and secondly does the UV wear out over time?
    really cool tattoo

    haha #19 American states have some pretty obscure laws hey?

    That’s kickass cool! The pink around the edges is a nice touch- I probably wouldn’t’ve gone for them but they look good. I love how the apparent negative space sort of swaps from the dollar sign in natural light to the clown’s glare under the UV. Pretty damn amazing design you must admit.
