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.

“The Best Combination”

And what is the best combination? According to Leila, it’s “Beer and Pizza” — tattoo by Jerry at No Regrets Northside in Tallahassee, Florida.

    That’s a terrible tattoo… Look at it, it’s all out of proportion and everything, and I’ve never seen pizza that looks like that! And to echo others’ queries… what’s with the can that says pizza? Nice idea, and obviously if she’s happy with it then brilliant, but I’d be pretty mad if someone had tattooed that on me.

    I can’t say I’m impressed, I’m hoping that the idea of this tattoo was to be chessy and unrefined. then If it is, then the tattoo is hilarious.

    i really love the idea. especially the use of imatating a pabst blue ribbion bottle. how ever there is no depth to the tattoo. i had a hard time telling that the pizza was actually pizza. if i were you i’d seek the help of another artist and see if they can fix it up for you. i hope you like it though that’s always the important thing.

    Oh man, that’s hilarious that I made it up here. Say what you want about the pizza looking funny. It looks better in real life when it’s not all swollen. Also, who gives a fuck? It’s not like it’s a particularly serious tattoo!
