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.

An Eye For An Eye..

Would leave me totally skull-fucked!

Gandhi (sort of).

Both tattoos by Rick at Mata Mata Studios in Hamilton, Ontario.

    my friend told me this story last night:
    “when I was little there was this stripper that lived in my town and Ithink her name was Bridgette, but everyone called her one eye because she had one real eye and one glass one”
    my reply was:
    “so, for like $40 could I skull fuck her?”

    sweet.

    Would now be an appropriate time to mention that Gandhi viewed South African blacks – or “kaffirs” as he referred to them – with contempt?

    ha ha the click through with the shocker hands in prayer position is amazing. i’m a huge fan of ghandi. i even have the ghandi loves me tshirt. the statement here is funny, the tattoo could have been a lot better. probably not the best idea to make fun of a person and represent it in a tattoo. kinda like getting your ex’s face tattooed and writing “sucks” underneath. ha ha witch i’m sure has been done.

    Not wishing to be arbitrarily negative and knowing that if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything at all, but it really needs to be said…

    Eh, I kind of like his sense of humor anyway; even if I don’t particularly favor this one.
    Though the anal prayer beads are wonderfully done.
