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.

A “Chunk” Of Baby Ruth?

Get it!?

The two people I had to explain this to told me that it was “before their” time, well, it’s their loss.

    Here we are
    Hanging onto strains of greed and blues
    Break the chain then we break down
    Oh it’s not real if you don’t feel it
    Unspoken expectations
    Ideals you used to play with
    They’ve finally taken shape for us.

    I had no idea what this was until you explained it.

    Goonies isn’t ‘past my time’ at all… but it isn’t a very good representation of Sloth, and the leetspeak ‘U’ completely pulls away from the image too.

    I thought it was some sort of ragdoll character or possibly Zippy the Pinhead.

    Not a fan.

    I didn’t get it at first because it doesn’t really look like Chunk.

    Before your time? Bullshit. It came out before I was born and I’ve still seen it.

    That is TOO Sloth and that isn’t hard too see… from the floppy ears, the offset eyes, to the slightly pointed head.
    The U, that’s the point, Sloth wouldn’t use proper grammar or spelling, HELLO???
    BAAAAYYYYBEEEE RUUUTH.
    It fits with the character, it fits with size of the tat, and it fits the style of the Tat.
    EXCELLENT REPRESENTATION !!!
    I Love everything about it… from the ink down to the professional look of the photo. This easily ranks among the top 10 on this site.
    There always has to be a critic (usually someone that doesn’t know what they are talking about) maybe you should learn a little more about art.
