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.

    Germans are definitely more direct but the translation is indeed: “You want to go with me” from last I recall.

    In terms of how germans view it, it might mean: “do you want to be my girlfriend/boyfriend”…but word translation it does say what it says.

    definitely think it’s an awesome tattoo…and a great pick up starter, just had the person a washable marker (once the tattoo is healed of course) and have em check it off hahah

    Great! I really love this. If I ever make it to Europe, I’ma seek this Noon guy like the Saint of Killers. But not for killing, no! I might even go so far as to let him pick the tat!

    Long live Noon!

    I love this! It’s cute; I’d probably go out with a guy with that tattoo!

    Aren’t, “Will you go out with me?” and “Will you be my girlfriend?” the same question? It would mean the same thing to me, anyway – saying, “Will you go out with me?” is like making it official, rather than just seeing each other, in my opinion.

    But no matter, awesome tattoo!

    Oh,and to clear things up on the translation issue, “Willst du mit mir gehen” means “Do you want to go out with me” not “Will you go out with me” Willst looks like will but it comes from the verb “Wollen” which is to want. If you wanted to say “Will you go out with me”, you would say, “Wirst du mit mir gehen?”

    Sooo cute..
    and boys in elementary school often really give notes like that to girls here.. which even seemed a little strage to me when I was that age.. but I think the tattoo is just great… love it..

    PS: yes… it should be “bitte sag ja”
    and the translation of “Willst du mit mir gehen?” is “Do you want to be by girl/boy-friend?” people around here (I’m from Austria)
    know “going out” (ausgehen) just as a romantic date but not necessarily just as a couple
