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.

    Walken is awesome, as is this tattoo – I really like the caricaturized features. But please, no more cowbell references! It’s tired. I’m tired of it. He’s done so much more amazing work that had nothing to do with big dumb Will Ferrell in a belly shirt smacking a cowbell. End of rant. Awesome tattoo still!

    I clicked through before I read any of the comments – my initial reaction was that the tattoo was a portrait of Mick Jagger (and I still do think it looks a lot like him). But now that I’ve read everyone’s saying it’s Christopher Walken, I can see the resemblance.
