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.

Tree Backpiece

This awesome full backpiece tree is a coverup of an old tribal tramp stamp (what an improvement!), done by Justin Bolonski (www) at Integrity Tattoo in Royersford, PA.

    beautiful! and a magnificent ass, to boot. i really love the linework within the treetrunk, the curvature and sense of flowing motion in something as stationary as a thick tree with deep roots

    The detail on it is GREAT! I dont like the fact that you can still see the first tat but maybe over time and a few touch ups it would cover it completly?
    Either way I think its VERY well done!!
