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.

Wet In Front of the Ears

Wow, we’ve had a lot of facial tattoo posts recently! IAM: bluetat (rather inexplicably I thought) included the following with this photo of his ongoing (1, 2) aquatic themed tattoo..

They all fuck dogs in the park!

    The entire theme is being executed beautifully; but there is something about that ear that I find strangely remarkable. Also, I think he looks ages younger since he shaved the ‘stache. Good looks, darling.

    I love the way the tattoo continues from his neck all the way up, and the design that comes out from his lips. Facial tattoos always seem so hard to incorporate the way the face is set up but this one is done so well

    I do have to say, something about that ear just entrances me. It looks like its underwater, plus the size of his lobe and the healthy state it appears to be in really adds to it.

    Ears (even untattooed ones) are probably my favourite body part. Every one is different, even the two that we all have. I think it’s all the curves that just make them so inviting.

    The work on this guy is incredible. I’m sure he gets lots of compliments.

    I really love this particular piece, and the way it incorporates with the rest of the theme.

    I almost hope that he leaves the remaining part of his face untouched, as if he’s being swallowed by the ocean.

    It very much looks like the image levels have been played with to intensify the colour.

    All these facial tattoos are making me wonder what the hell they’re all doing for jobs to afford all of these (not to mention other normal expenses)!
