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.

Another set of facial panels added

Keeping you updated on Nick’s amazing transformation, here’s the latest work he’s had done. As I said before, I am very thankful to be able to watch this unfold, and it keeps looking better and better.

    I like this addition, the last step made him look a little angry, just with the way the lines flowed with his face. Now he looks much happier and more approachable. Love watching the progress!

    I think I like the solid black work on the top of his head the best.

    That last session has really set the piece off beautifully. I think it’s a stunning bit of work. Nicks transformation in this short period of time has kept me riveted. Good on you Nick, and to Tattoo Joe. Good efforts for the modified community!

    Great work – weird photo. Why is he hiding behind a (fake?) plant. And Shannon, could have gotten rid of the demon eyes, eh?

    Don’t get me wrong I do love the facial tattoo

    But the thing I think is REALLY aesthetically appeasing is the way his shirt and tie offsets the tattoo work 🙂

    I like the contrast of it 🙂
