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.

Chip-Chip Hooray!

I kept wanting to write CRISP, argh! I’m sure I don’t need to spell out the meaning of this tattoo though, right?

Still unsure? Don’t get a bee in your bonnet just hover your cursor over the image and all will become clear.

    Don’t fuss ’bout the language Roo. As a yank on the other side of the pond for about 8 years, at one point I was calling all potato based food chips.

    The tattoo is great.

    Give us a little credit, the entry title tells us its a chip, and it is on his shoulder. I would hope the majority on bme could grasp the obvious!

    I have a sheep on my shoulder. Add a bit of alcohol and that’s pretty much the same.
