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.

Looking for Love

Awww… Geek love sought… Could you be the lesser than sign? Tiff got this half of a geek tattoo and is still “waiting to stumble upon the right canvas for the other half”. Tattoo by Paul Goss at Eternal Ink in Sheffield, UK.

    #s 2,3,4: With a name like Tiff, you think you’d use some common sense. Anywho, I think she’s cute. If she wasn’t strictly into girls (and I wasn’t married), I’d be her penpal.

    Are 2, 3 and 4 completely blind?? How many guys do you know who look that much like a woman??

    Comment number two really made me laugh but yeah, common sense might prevail. Good idea for a tattoo though!

    She’s not blatantly anything. I know a guy named Tiff (literally, that’s how HE spells HIS name), we all know a guy named Shannon, I know a gay male mechanic named Kelly (odd, ha?). I thought it was a guy at first. Short hair, short fingernails… I guess I’m an idiot, right?

    Very random question….Tiff-were you in Orlando, Florida a few months ago? I met a British girl named Tiff that looks just like you.

    Aw, that’s really cute, and so is Tiff. =)

    #15, do you think that’s a guy?

    If you said yes, you’re an idiot. Congrats!

    What a sweet idea. And in the meantime, the 3 looks awesome on its own.

    Sweet.
    I think Tiff looks gorgeous, but wasn’t sure whether she was male or female either. Fortunately, I stopped caring about that long ago and, as turns out in most cases, she’s the gender I prefer after all. Sadly, she wouldn’t say the same, so despite my living nearby we’ll for now remain one less again than three than either might prefer.
    Tiff, lovely tat; good luck with that.
    Labelle, so judgemental; you’re the idiot.

    This is all a bit embarrassing! *blush*

    #16 I’ve never been to the States – it must be my doppelganger!

    #15 Gender identity and sexuality run a little deeper than jusrt short hair and fingernails!! I can assure you, I am very much female and very happy with being so.

    #31 stupid me – I forgot! Short hair and short fingernails = masculine! Someone please remind me exactly which era we are living in?!

    For godness sake…. what are we looking here, the tattoo or Tiff. yes Tiff is a girl…. Yes she is beautiful. No. 2 hahaha definately like Keith Flint (i said that when I first met her). The Tattoo that made Modblog, is good ya!!

    Lol I thought she was a cute guy at first glance myself which isnt so farfetched. Its not just her nails she has very “handsome” hands(more so then gerneral) which are covering up apart of her already slighty Androgynous features.
    Could it possibly be that the people that made the mistake are just slighty more opened minded enough for that error to be made to begin with.. or maybe we are all just blind- know it alls, give us a break. 🙂

    I figured her breasts would give her gender away, they’re pretty evident in the photo.
    After I stopped being dense and realized what the 3 was about, I love this tattoo! 🙂

    The duh… finally kicked in for me when I noticed the breast which is generally the last thing I notice in woman(im usually into men). The hand, face, sleve which grabbed my attention most is what I based my oriinal judgement. My bad. I think shes hot anyway.

    ok, it appears you can’t write stuff with the less than symbol on comments so it’ll go unexplained!
