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.

    A zombie-esque facial tattoo underground fight club would be the hottest thing ever.

    Period.

    I’m sorry I just can’t find anything nice to say about it. It’s just too juvenile.

    I can not believe that once this guy grows up into a fully mature man he will be anything other than embarassed by this tattoo.

    That is David ‘The Viking’ Anderson. He is an MMA fighter and a very nice guy – I met him at a convention awhile back. Here is his myspace page:

    I love the idea, I just don’t like the way the tattoo was done. It looks almost too cartoonish…… but maybe I’m just too much of a fan of Skullboy.

    Ya know, I don’t think the guy cares what he’s going to look like when he gets older. Nor should any of us. You could step off the curb tomorrow and get hit by a garbage truck, and then you’ll be chilling out in purgatory thinking “Damn, now I wish I’d opted for that totally badass predator mask I always wanted to have tattooed over my face,” or something of the like. But guess what champ, there are no tattoo artist in purgatory! They all ascend for their incredible contribution to enriching the lives of mankind as a whole.

    Have fun looking homely in limbo, boring face.

    Kudos Mr. Viking.

    I think it’s wicked that he got it done, i agree 100 percent with what Maestro said i mean you only live once and why not get that tattoo you’ve always wanted even if it’s something that’s not seen all the time… and also… the asymmetry is driving me crazy every time i look at it… kudos to the wearer of this tattoo.

    For Shawn (and any others wondering about symmetry) – when I spoke with him he wasn’t planning on doing the other side, his intent is to remain assymetrical. Side note, I had an art professor who espoused the view (which is not uncommon) that accepting asymmetry in a culture is the beginning of real artistic growth and understanding
