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.

    This was flash. Its not custom. Its from Revisited: A Tribute to Flash from the Past.
    I showed it to my client and after we had a good laugh he decided that he wanted me to tattoo it on him.
