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.

Happy Early St. Patrick’s Day

Kevin (owner of the ass-swipe tattoo) is already drunk I think? Alouicious of Shaman’s Den in Binghamton, NY did another goofy piece on him with this “shamcock” tattoo below his navel.

Did I mention that the entry a few below this one contains some very intelligent discussion of tattoo removal and tattoo cover-up options? 😛
