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 was just watching G4, and they showed a video of a guy getting his tattoo removed by a friend of his, with an electric sander.

    this is hysterical, and great timing.

    Hahaha, it reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer joins the Stonecutters and they kick him out at the dinner and they go to remove the tattoo but realize he hasn’t gotten it yet..
    I guess that’s the cheapest way to do it.. besides using a spork.
