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.

NKOTB!

My sister would absolutely love this New Kids finger tattoo on their biggest fan, Ashley. Yeah, so do I, heh.

    maybe it’s just me but that would be the kind of tat that I would only get when WASTED and then regret when I’m sober.

    The tattoo’s great.

    The funny thing is that their new song isn’t really that bad. I heard it today on the radio and it’s kinda catchy

    Hahaaha you think Roo? Well, I can’t say I have heard any of this new stuff that has come out, but I did have a chuckle when I heard they had re-formed!

    It was even funnier when I clicked through the lin you have there to read the Wikipedia entry on them, there is a photo there somewhere of them now, it is hilarious, they look middle aged…but they are the “new kids”. Too funny!!

    If the tattoo is meant as a joke then I think it is pretty good…but oh man…I hope it IS a joke!

    EPIC FAIL !

    i think i had my new kids tape for a week before i gave it to the slow girl in class, pretty sure she grew up to be a bombshell, or a crackhead retard.

    if the latter i blame it on the stupid hat that one of the mcguire brothers wore,,, a hat with a hole in the center,,,

    what the fuck .

    bit late there sweetheart, cute none the less….

    O O OREO O OREO WHATS IN THE MIDDLE, THE WHITE STUF

    HAHAHA I’M FUCKED
