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.

Inanimate Objects Need Tattoo Love Too

I don’t know if you can call a disembodied flesh truly inanimate, as it at least used to be animate… in any case, it’s what Sephanie Carr (Dragon FX, Kingsway) has been using to hone her portraiture skills before moving on to human bodies.

I’m not sure if a pomelo is inanimate either, since it’ s alive, but it’s what Katie Quinn in San Mateo is using to learn — this is her third tattoo ever. The pomelo feels very bad-ass now…

    I bet you could dry it out and keep it like that for a long time. My sibs and I used to use the skins as play “hats” when we were little.

    Rauka: It’s a really big citrus fruit. Bigger than a grapefruit, but sweet.

    I bet the pomelo’s friends all think it’s a real badass now.

    That looks like really good work, both of them.

    Whoa Steph! Sweet ass that is rocking!

    And I couldn’t figure out what she was tattooing on first. I thought it might be an amputated leg or something.

    Imagine for a moment, sitting down to your sack lunch, and then whipping out THAT fruit, there in the office.

    It would be bad ass!

    Better yet, at SCHOOL… 😀
