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.

Bulletproof, I Wish I Was..

Syohh.

I’m not entirely sure what the owner of this tattoo meant by the following, but they added..

I could get shot for this! I’m thinking of covering it over with a black bar.

    I am sorry but it looks like shit.
    Its like the tattoo artist was already tattooig the first couple letters and then he remembered
    that he needs more room for the last letters so he just squeezes them in.

    I think the owners comment meant “I could get shot for this tattoo because someone might want to prove me wrong”… or something like that.

    This is almost as cool as those people who put fake bullet hole stickers on their cars. I bet he’s one of those people.

    What he ment was if people see the bulletproof thing they want to test it out with actually shooting on him.

    Don’t like it though

    Big jazz- I also thought he had a ton of nipples. But on my sidekick it looks like tons of nipples with hair around each one. I also in my opinion it looks like he didn’t take his previous tattoo into consideration when getting this done. Because really…they don’t look good together at all.

    Looks awful. Repeating letters with “distressed” fonts = not necessarily a good idea.

    Hate to do this, but then again if you send it to modblog you put up your tattoo or mod for redicule…
    The first script colorbone is super weak. The small swirls on it have no flow and the words look like the stencils were tossed on in any old way and tattooed there.

    The bulletproof tattoo definitely contradicts it in a visual sense not to mention it gets redundant…having a bunch perseverence themed words and phrases right next to each other.

    I’d suggest for the next session to either be a laser, a solid black chest, or the word “perseverence” in another font right below it.

    agree with dangereric, the two styles of text right next to each other look pretty horrible…
    and the bullet holes look like weird pimples or something :/

    I think everyone who tears apart the tattoos posted on modblog should post pictures of theirs for all to critique. Jesus fucking christ, who made you the tattoo police? I say like it or lump it. Why do people have to act like the kids from Lord of the Flies?
