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.

Don’t Bet On Tattoos!

Two images for your viewing pleasure..

The first is by artist Paul Toupet (MySpace) and the second (after the break) is by Pat of Don Design, Chambly, Québec.

The email that came with this simply said “Bet Lost“, hopefully someone can expand on that!

    I just want to know what type of bets are made around the loser getting a tattoo. “Danzig is the best band in the universe!” “No way, Metallica is; hey bro, who is better? Metallica? Haha you have to get a stick figure getting F’d in the A permanently inked on your body”

    mariess- who cares? maybe she’s one of us happy childfree folk?

    why does everyone automatically say “pregnant” as soon as obvious ovaries are in the picture?

    i love that it looks like ballpoint pen. that makes the lost bet part more humorous…
