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.

Eyebending Tribal Suit

This tattoo is nuts! If you look at just one small section of it, it’s just boring neotribal that’s been done a zillion times, but as a full body suit, it’s pretty wild looking! It looks like a fabric print I think… (I’ve seen closeup photos by the way, so it’s definitely real if you’re suspicious).

    I’m usually not a fan of tribal, but this definitely proves that dedication to a theme can pay off.

    Haha that guy must LOVE tribal tatoos :P. As much as I have a general dislike for generic tribal tattoos I do like how it does look like a fabric pattern. Definately snazzy.

    just… wow. one would think that a design like this would be hard on the eyes, too busy or something, but it’s remarkably well-executed. i think it’s because it’s not the super thick and sharp tribals, but something more curved and intricate.

    i kind of thought it looked like a thorny plant or something, heh. beautiful, either way!

    I love the half-assed kinda symmetry to it in places. Looks like sweet wall paper.

    I was whistling when I opened modblog this morning and this took the whistle right out of me.

    I’m not sure I like it per se, but it’s really amazing.
