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.

    is the owl thinking it, or does the thought bubble just happen to be there?

    I think thats smoke coming from the owl’s pipe, not a thought bubble.

    LOVE this!
    Such great design, and such a fresh idea for a tattoo. I mean, although skull tattoos have a tendancy to be a bit overdone, I must say that I have a thing for old ink drawings of skulls and such, and this tattoo reminds me of that, and is just done so beautifully that I really couldnt give two shits whether or not a bunch of other people already have skull tattoos.
    And of course, the placement/style of the text is very original. All together this is such an amazing tattoo.
    and the Owl, the owl is great too.
    lovelovelove it.

    This is a text tattoo that I love, it’s more than “just” text, it’s taken text and made it visually arresting. Very nice.

    i have been a Poe fan for as long as i can remember, with The Raven being one of my alltime favorites. ive been trying to design a Poe tattoo for almost two years, and i saw this and it seriously blew my mind. it is just unbelievable. i wish i could have thought of something like that.

    i love how each piece still stands out and really gains alot, it doesn’t loose anything from the other ‘competing’ tattoos. it really has a beautiful flow and i hope he’s incredibly proud to have it 🙂
