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.

Red Rocket.

Wag your tail if you got the “bone” when you read the title.

    This is my tattoo. I got it from Fish at Freaky’s in Boulder, Colorado. He is a relatively new artist, but as you can see, he does it well. It’s *supposed* to be a mix of an austrian shepard, a black lab, a chow chow, and a wolf – a mix of some special dogs in my life.

    Fish thought that it would take only a few hours, so he estimated a pretty low price. It ended up taking 15 hours. Boy am I glad he underestimated, or I wouldn’t have been able to afford it!

    Yay Fish! I love it so much! I only wish that I had got it somewhere more visable . . .and that people hadn’t made boner jokes about it.
