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.

TX Made, TX Paid!

Clickthrough for another Texan tattoo, both by Kit Rabozzi at various studios (in Texas, oddly enough)..

    Is it sad that all I can think about when I look at those hands is how they have such nice juicy veins perfect for drawing blood and inserting IV’s?

    haha … Perhaps a sign I work a tad too much.

    Nice tattoos though!!

    I think it is so amazing that people are so proud to be from Texas they would get tattoos on their hands! I’m from FL which is America’s wang- not the coolest state to get tattooed! But I love the tats.

    I love the click-through tatt very much. I’m not surprised people are proud to be from Texas. A guy from Houston worked alongside me (in England) for a couple of years. He called himself an ordinary typical Texan. He was one of the most reliable and decent blokes I’ve ever known and I learned a lot about life from him. So thanks to him I have a huge respect for Texas.
