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.

I’ve got eyes in the back of my head

    That’s totally the best “eye in the back of my head” tattoo ever. He’s got the perfect head for maximum creepiness.

    I wonder if that head-wrinkle was a deciding factor in the decision to get this tattoo… if I knew someone with a head like that, I’d be constantly drawing silly faces on the back of their head.

    #9, etc:

    I know a guy who has no tattoos, but has the similar big wrinkle but also some smaller ones above so it looks like two squinty eyes and a mouth, and he named the whole thing “Bob.”

    First thing I thought on seeing this tattoo was, “yay for the cyclops Muppet guy!” 😀

    Back-of-Head-Cyclops is unimpressed… 😀

    That said, I love mods that work with the bodies quirks.

    And he seems to have some serious scarring on the top of his head.

    That’s my home town! It’s nice to see unusual work coming out of there now. Used to be unheard of. Anything other than scratcher work was hard to come by.

    Creepy head.

    I have to admit, 9 times out of 10 I don’t like eye tattoos. Especially on the back of heads. Artistically it looks like the shading just ends. It needs more subtle blending.
