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.

    The standard of the portrait, is pretty bad, if you look at it, the angle of the facial features, arent in the right places. plus i agree with it looking too ‘jackass’ *shrug* each to their own i guess!.

    are you entirely sure the image on the right was used to create the tattoo, eroinside? i think they aren’t that off if you imagine his face from a different angle (more upper right than the photo). the only thing is his nose looks a bit small in the tattoo. he’s way cute – i’m surprised no has commented yet on his real-life aesthetics 😉
