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.

Perfect Placement?

Well, where else would you expect to find an Ol’ Dirty Bastard?!

    hey thats me… look at that haha.

    i dont really see it having an affect on sweat glands at all. but its an awesome place to get tattooed. its not too sensitive or anything. its just not something you want to be tattooing for more than 1 – 1 1/2 hours. its not pleasant after then because the glands tend to swell and get pretty raw to where the wiping sucks but not the actually tattooing.

    i think its a place more people need to utilize. im getting my other armpit done this week, and hopefully TUPAC will make modblog too.

    Why the hell would you want a tattoo on your armpit? Especially if you’re a guy and will, presumably, not shave regularly? No one will ever see it, including the owner. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

    Not every tattoo is for people to see. Some times its just for the experience. Bitching about placement seems silly to me. Though I did just laugh about a girl with a tribal tattoo on her lower stomach. It looked like antlers for her crotch, much like tribals on lower backs look like ass antlers.

    As for this being featured, I’d rather see this, which is a post obviously about a tattoo, than one of a hot girl. Its a pretty nice tattoo at that. I don’t typically like portrait tattoo.

    also might i add that the armpit isnt a completely flat area, so it looks a little distorted. the picture really doesnt do it any justice.

    as for the comment about not shaving… i do shave my armpits, as well as my arms to show my tattoos better. having art on you body and having tons of hair or even just a little hair ruins the piece. and actually people do see it. no one ever believes i have a dead rapper in my armpit. and it cheers me up to see that goofy looking BASTARD.

    Severed- please tell me how many draw droppingly awesome things have you seen lately on here? Once upon a time you had to worry about opening things on modblog at work or in front of others or you got to wake up to crazy piercings and NEW things. I could walk down the streets in kansas city and see far more interesting mods than the things that have been posted here lately.

    Oh and I’m not saying that roo is doing bad job. I also realize that it has some what to do with what people are submitting. But personally I’d much rather have posts of better quality that had new and interesting mods. Even if it meant less posts were being put up daily.
