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 going to comment about how good it looks for a drunken spur of the moment thing, and then I notice the bite marks. Still, a really nice tattoo.

    Um, yeah….that bite doesn’t look good. Has he got that checked out? Did he have the tat and then get bit while out? What’s the sequence of events here?

    Answers to questions:

    The tattoo is well healed, over 18 months old.
    The bite happened around four weeks ago, and that healed fine as well 🙂

    It took me ages to work out that was a bite! In the meantime I thought it was the shape of a cookie cutter which I think means I’m hungry.

    Yikes. As someone who inflicts and receives those type of bites on a regular basis, I say Kudos. It takes a one hell of a man/woman to take a bite like that. =)

  41. Tommichen Avatar

    Holy Shit that is a serious bitemark, damn.
    But the palm tattoo is also very nice and the use of white ink is just amazing.

    But what actually happened, looks like he tried to do a karate hit straight to the face but the hand just got stuck between the teeth of the one who was about to get hit hahaha
