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.

Oldschool Gamer Geek True Love

I wasn’t really going to post any Valentine’s Day themed stuff (although I could bore everyone with long stories of how I found love in a tattoo studio I suppose), but I thought this Pac-Man / Ms. Pac-Man tattoo was just so charming that I had to post it today:

Oh yeah, and…

Actually, I think maybe I will put together a Valentine’s Day entry after all… check back later for an entry dedicated to “The Curse”.
