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.

Firearms.

FuckingClassy also likes to think she’s pretty FuckingBadass, so much so that she’s just added three bullets to her in-progress weapons themed sleeve!

    My two pence is this…Aesthetically and mechanically, all weapons are amazing creations…it’s what the people who wield them choose to do that makes them so terrible.

    A weapons themed sleeve is, to me, a great idea, it’s everything I love about guns and none of the death!
    Great photo, looking forward to seeing the rest of the sleeve.

    #50 strangeasangels – Yeah. It’s not the subject matter per se, but the question of if people are appropriating symbols or not.

    I think the military tattoo would be a good analogy – if you’re not in the Marines, would you get a Marines tattoo? Wouldn’t it be awkward if someone started asking about your service? Granted bullets and weapons are less “trademark” but the question does arise with some of the trend.

    Of course, it’s a legitimate question to ask of people who get kanji tattoos they can’t read and traditional symbols of cultures they don’t belong to also, I suppose.

    But, to each his or her own, I guess. Just be prepared for the questions.

    Anyone else but me think the term “weapon themed sleeve in progress” to describe three random bullets on her forearm is a bit precious?

    no throwing up a gang sign? wha, wha?

    people can get whatever they want on their bodies, as mentioned here, but we all have the right as well to roll our eyes at it.

    bottom line: dont cry about your gangsta tattoo if people make fun. that shit, you gotta own.

    Im still trying to understand why anyone is still entertaining speedoape. Hes views are twisted and he doesnt make any sence. Anyway my opinion, the tattoo is nicely done but the image itself is completly wack, She’ll eventually find that she fucked herself. Oh and im a war vetern, theres nothing cool about shooting people or being shot trust me. You dumbass.

    drama is, of course, unfortunate and something to be avoided, but i think contrasting opinions–no matter how spirited, spiteful, or assenting–are an important part of modblog. we’re not JUST here to oggle beautiful people and their mods; part of this viewing community is about discussion. /end babble
