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.

One Finger Salute

Apart from the sender wanting it filed under “Geek Tattoos”, no other information was included with this photo. His cheeky expression made me laugh though..

    When I see people smoking while getting a mod, I get a little squicked out. Otherwise, good picture.

    lippi – Apart from the obvious risks associated with smoking, there are a lot worse things you could be doing whilst being tattooed, like being sick, or weeing.

    Weeing?!?! You just made my morning, thank you Mr. Roo.

    audente = Or spelling tattooed wrong. I’d just woken up and it was dark 🙂

    Shaun – If he did it hasn’t reached me, yet.

    Tatttoed, HA! I hadn’t even noticed that 🙂 By the way, I just read all the nonsense on the Rules of Life post – people need to lighten up, you’re doing a fine job Roo, I love to see multiple updates in a day. Although I do agree that sometimes it would be nicer for some more in depth posts about some pictures. But hell, way to shoulder Modblog and keep it alive and kicking! Thank you kind sir.

    audente – Thanks, I really appreciate it 🙂

    I know what you’re saying regarding the text (it’s been the issue most raised), but obviously that relies on the people submitting including a background story.

    Things will improve as I improve!

    He reminds me of a really young Mickey Rourke (which is a good thing)!

    well, i don’t know how geeky it is, but it looks like it’s being done in a small recording studio.

    #13: My first very quick look made me think he’d nicked his hairstyle and beard from Ewan McGregor in “Revenge of the Sith.”

    iam_me – Or a secret bunker where they sit around all day controlling the world and tattooing each other.

    LadyCrow – I think he’s just nicked Ewan McGregor’s face in general. And I’m not complaining. 🙂
