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.

Tattooed Necktie

So back when I posted the “bowtie tattoo“, I joked about tuxedo shirt tattoos being next. I suppose that Taylor’s tie tattoo — as he puts it he’ll “never be under-dressed again” — done by Michael at Electric Body Art in Marietta, Georgia, moves us one step closer to that (which is good, because the Charlie Brown tattoo moved us one step farther away).

    He may never be underdressed, but he’ll be overdressed at times.

    I LOVE this!
    and who cares what it looks like when he’s old?
    there are certain parts of your body you just don’t show off as much as you age, and if he stays in relatively good physical condition, i highly doubt the tattoo will look deformed when he’s old
