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.

    true, but there will never be that relationship that a person and the tattoo artist have, and the feeling and emotion of getting the tattoo itself by a friend. you can’t befriend a computer. you can like the computer, but you can’t shake it’s hand after getting a tattoo by it. don’t think i’ll ever have that feeling with a computer.

    Noah – When I was working as a computer technician (I was sixteen, so that would be twelve years ago), a guy came to shop clutching his precious 80386 XT, his daughter had apparently got up in the middle of the night and decided the computer was hungry.

    She managed to slide two Dairylee Cheese Slices into the 5 1/4″ FDD.

    Not really related, but a funny story.

    I can’t wait for an update, i suppose this could come up really great on some peoples skin, but on others just disappear. I mean, i’ve done some DIY branding that i figured would no way take, but it’s raised up really nice.
