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.

Giger Bodysuit Tattoo Project

Since everyone seemed to like the last Giger sleeve I posted, I wanted to add Bosko’s biomech bodysuit, largely inspired by Giger pieces — he’s 49, and the fomer CEO of a top firm in Serbia. The tattoos were done over two and a half years by Boban at Bomba Tattoo in Novi Sad, Serbia. The tattoos were done with Talens India Ink instead of regular tattoo ink because Bosko developed an allergy, which eliminated their ability to do standard graywash shading in the piece.

Full photos continue after the break. On his back is a large Giger baby with machine gun arms based on an exhibition photo, on his right side is Giger’s Samurai painting, and a biomech girl on the right, and his belling is based on Giger’s Landscape XVIII.

    that’s so amazing. the blackwork (i can’t remember if this is the right term?) on his arms is so well done- i think it’s the crispest/cleanest/best done example of blackwork (again, sorry if this is wrong) i’ve seen on modblog. the idea is so awesome. how long has it taken so far (if you know?)

    Mindfreakinblowing. I really like the colour of the ink, ’cause with gey/black you have the problem that bigger blocks of darker colour can fade…
    Oh, Bosko is absolutely gorgeus o_o.

    Wow.

    Just…Wow…

    I first became ‘aware’ of tattoos as being something more than ‘LOVE’ and ‘HATE’ on my uncles’ knuckles and his friend’s Orange Order stuff (basically a bunch of protestant cunts looking for an excuse to fight and hate non-WASPs) was when I discovered Gieger at the age of around 9 and suddenly wondered just how amazing it would be to be ‘painted’ with his work…I’ve had a deep-seated longing for such a bodysuit ever since…Although I don’t know if I ever could…

    Love it.

    My first reaction was, “eww, ick”. However, I think it’s a really well done tattoo.
