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.

Finger Lickin’ Good

I don’t really know what the motivation behind this tattoo of a self consuming cow is — in this case done by Drew Atkins at Incorporated in Zanesville, Ohion — but all it brings to mind for me is the Ameglian Major Cow from Milliways (The Restaurant at the End of the Universe — I’m sure other Douglas Adams fans know what I’m talking about).

    It is a great thing, I would say, to have a Hitchhikers reference at the start of one’s day.

    “May I interest you in parts of my body. The rump is particularly good. I’ve been exercising it. Or a casserole of me perhaps?”

    Is this a good time to plug my H2G2 t-shirts? :o)

    maybe it’s my dirty mind
    but at first glance I though the cow was, uhm, trying to suck his/her own c*ck (what with the tongue pointing to the light colored c*ck shaped section on the cow’s belly)….
