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.

    Woooow, that’s a cool piece but on his back were the clouds are, I would’ve made them more defined ’cause now it looks just like it’s alot of lines, I would do some kind of heavier shading.. but still, looks awesome

    Tattoos + muscles = lovely.

    I do love the backpiece, but I agree on the shading. My first thought was “Guess he’s not finished!”

    I guess he likes his eastern art work…still,i agree with Niklas about the shading on the clouds, they seem to be near invisable when placed nexted to the high definition colours of the the rest of the body

    He needed that japansese flag on his other cheek so the stripes protruded out from his own japanese flag (his asshole, kiddies). Would have been like an extension of his ringpiece.

    He is hardcore!

    That said, prefer the original pics, without the colour being enhanced. I like the look of healed tattoos, because they appear to be under the skin.

    It’s interesting that even though the whole piece is Japanophilic, he’s filled in all of the areas traditional Japanese tattoos leave blank. Still a beautiful piece, though!
