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.

Yoda prefers Phil Collins

Not that I have any problem with Noel Gallagher (of Oasis), but I got a laugh out of this portrait tattoo of him because of the placement. If a time comes that the wearer is no longer a fan, they can say, “no, no, it’s not a portrait of Noel Gallager… it’s a portrait of Noel Gallager having his throat slit by Yoda!”

If I get bored one day I’m going to go through the archives and lot for other tattoo interactions… I’ll bet there are loads as people get more and more coverage. Anyway, the tattoo is the work of Kelly Macdonald at Skinz N Needles in Ashington, UK.

    Oasis. I hoped I’d never have to hear or see them ever again!

    Me too. God I hate Oasis. Actually I was interviewed for Radio 1 back in the day after setting up a usenet group and their main angle was that I was into breakbeat and jungle because all my mates liked Oasis.

    Yeah, the actual portrait doesn’t seem that well done to be honest.

    Shanz – are you talking about the tattoo or just Noel Gallagher in general? 😉

    Wow, I honestly didn’t even see Yoda until I read the commentary. I like the placement of the modblog logo, btw.

    Oh, I don’t think the face looks good at all, okay, it looks like him, but it’s just not tattooed that good. It could be way better.
    Who would want him on his leg anywayxD

    the biggest problem i have with that tat
    besides it being gallager
    is that his eyes aren’t connecting with anything, like one looks almost lazy. but it could be the angle of the picture, of course.

    is that the asshole brother, or the other slightly-less asshole brother? either way, i think it works if you look at it as yoda is gonna decapitate his sith lovin ass with that lightsaber. btw, noel gallagher would have a red lightsaber… mmhmm

    Most portraits fail to impress me. Nobody ever gets the eyes right. Non-expressive, lopsided, and not true to the original. This one falls under all these categories. KatVD may have her “issues” but damn can she get a portrait right. She, as well as other incredibly talented artists, of course.

    I don’t have a problem with Oasis, I was a fan during the 90′s!
    Not sure about the tattoo though, maybe it’s just the camera angle but to me it doesn’t look right.

    The key phrase there is “during the 90s”, Donna.
