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.

Want a free tattoo?

Greg tells me that he and his presumably drunk friends (or Scott at least) at Akron Ink are shooting to do an entire calendar. So far only “Mr. September” is taken… Want to be next? The price is right!

    I also agree with #64′s comment: this tattoo is an aesthetic nightmare that looks like it was done by a scratcher…everything is poorly outlined, wishy-washy execution, no calligrification. How could someone want to wear this poorly-done joke tattoo for the rest of their life?
    You know the old saying, “A good tattoo isn’t free and a free tattoo…” Yikes! It’s kind of like those uber-annoying moustache tattoos on the finger…everyone thinks they’re being quirky and weird… when the joke is so amazingly played
    out.. Oh well, to each their own I guess.

    i’d love a free tattoo – just none of the ones he has. or even his hair cut, or his bad facial hair, or inability to wear a belt
