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.

    that bottom one is amazing.
    I saw a spiderman tattoo once, it had the background of the city just like in the comics and spiderman was done perfectly… I wanted to say something so bad but I felt like a huge creep.

    i wonder if anyone has ever been sued for copy right infringement in regards to tattoos… anyone know? i’m just curious as to how it all pans out legally. especially when there is cartoon flash of, like, taz in shops. that’s definitely for profit or whatever.

    that bottom left hand corner is so much fail. J Scott Campbell is such a terrific artist and to see someone mangle his artwork up is just heartwrenching.

    I really like the bottom right one – the leg sleeve.

    It would be amazing if it were full-body.

    This is not the finished tattoo but thought I’d show mine that i had done. The finished product has blue sky in the square box behind his head and a few more building details to the skyline but it gives the idea.
