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.

    Great tattoo. Is it only me who finds the concept of a Polish person named “Adolf” odd though…?

    I have a friend with a similar tattoo, but more stencil looking, I love these Dali tattoos. I’ve always wondered if that moustache hindered his vision at all.

    Hey wow, that’s not rude at all. Perhaps this is exactly how the artist and/or clien wanted it to look? It’s called artistic license, it’s called style.
    Don’t knock people’s art like that, it’s really kind of mean.

    I actually really enjoy this piece. The white highlights in the stache are very well placed in respect to the rest of the grey-shading of the piece.

    And the thick black border gives it a bit of intrigue as well. As if someone pulled down a square flap of skin and hello Dali in your body!
