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.

    oh no dude, if he keeps riding, he is going to get fucking choked by that noose on his neck.

    This could’ve been a really good tattoo if it had been done well.

    Maybe he’s actually escaping half way through a hanging and in his urge to “get the fuck outta there” he forgot to remove the noose? that’s what I’d like to believe anyway :]

    I’ve already looked on his IAM page… there’s no clue as to what it’s attached to. I do suspect that this is more a piece about escape than suicide given what else I saw on his IAM page.

    The fact that the tat ain´t super “clean” in the lines and thickness and so on, makes the tat look waaaaay cooler!

    It wouldn´t be half as cool if it was made according to proportion and scale.

    Cool!! Dirty, Old schCOOL”

    I think he’s a fixed gear rider and they often do some crazy shit that some would call a suicide ride, deeming the person a suicide rider. Cause the shits so crazy they might as well be tryig to kill themselves. It could have some other meaning but I think a lot of folks are diggin to deep here. Fixed gear for life! haha, yeah I’m a dork…
