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.

    It’s a well done tattoo, but I didn’t understand what or who it was portraying when I looked at it. I’ve seen the movie, though, and understood after I saw the Baby Ruth and the title.
    Maybe I’m just not being abstract enough this morning?

    i get that the people posted have modifications and i get that they are community members and everyone counts and i get that this is a cute reminder of childhood and i’m not complaining because i like seeing this. but how about for every one of these sort of pictures that there was a top-quality tattoo photo as well? like good pictures of good modifications, not just good pictures of good people. if that is not the focus of this blog maybe someone can recommend a tattoo blog that is just about top quality work.
