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.

Don’t Touch My Dusty Cupboard!

This is another one of those tattoos where I feel like I’m missing something, and it’s actually a very well known comic strip or something. All I know is Yvette Green (Intrinsic Artautoplayer) says “It’s the craziest tattoo I’ve ever been asked to do on someone.

    I think some of us need to go give her some business if that’s the craziest tattoo she’s done.

    I’ve never seen it, but will suggest it might be some doodle that the wearer or someone close to him did on a scrap of paper after some really long involved incident or great in-joke time, and so just meaningful to them.

    Definitely would be interesting to hear that story, though!

    Cute, even though we’re all lost regarding the comic/meaning. The cat and broken heart are nice details.

    I’ve debated for some time getting part of the webcomic XKCD as a tattoo. It would be terribly fitting for me, and allong the same lines as this.

    Totally no. 12, I’m a big KOL fan too. What’s interesting is the virtual tattoos on KOL, and how some of the pioneers who got real world KOL tattoos of stick figures were awarded custom virtual KOL tattoos…
