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.

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.

Sex is Brill!

We all love sex, right? But judging by the following tattoos we all express that love in different ways..

Fuck Slut – Manuel Huizar, Sadofilia, La Paz – If that rings a bell it’s because it what once the home of BMEzine, and Manuel was behind Phil’s toes (1, 2, 3).

Blow Jobs – Sjard, Kartell Tattoo Studio, Hessen, Frankfurt.

As for the last tattoo..

“I got this tattoo because I wanted something that would always make me smile. I’ve never had anyone say they were offended by it, mostly people just giggle and say how awesome it is [because it is] the only thing I regret is not getting a few curly lines to really tramp it up properly. But at least this way it’s kind of subtle.”

No offence to the owner of the tattoo above (yes, that one), but I’m not sure I understand the message “behind” the tattoo or the text submitted along with it – If I’m missing the humour please let me know!

    So as a rape victim, assuming we’ve got her reasoning right and it is a satirical take on the “tramp stamp” asking for rape thing, I think it’s quite witty. It’s not something I’d get tattooed on myself, and if I met her I’d really question her about it, but I think on paper it’s a pretty neat idea. But then on paper communism works out great too….

    Sammi – Yeah, analysis is great as long as people are accepting that it’s only a theory and could easily be wrong. That’s obviously not the case here. Almost everyone that made an analysis abt this tat is just assuming that they are right and it’s made many people look like total ass holes – i.e. “I hope she gets raped so she will know how wrong that tattoo is”
    – you do realize that by trying to defend the notion that all analysis (no matter how faulty) serves a purpose, you are defending statements like that…right?

    And no, you have guessed incorrectly -language can have many meanings and her limited text alone is in NO WAY substantial evidence for a thorough analysis.

    “Don’t threaten someone with a chainsaw”

    Sounds clear, right? But do I mean
    “When holding a chainsaw, do not threaten others” or
    “Do not threaten people who are wielding chainsaws”
    Kind of a big difference, and her text is much more vague than my example…

    So please explain to me what the purpose is in making an analysis when you have little to nothing to go by and you are just going to assume it’s right regardless?

    everyone one get’s so serious on here, it’s funny, that’s all. If you don’t like it and think it’s in bad taste, don’t look at it. Two thumbs up for the rape tattoo, I also have a rape tattoo about little kids, what’s the big deal. A little forced lovin’ never hurt anyone.

    I think she just thinks rape is funny. A lot of people do*.

    *Either a lot of people do, or I just need to move out of this fucking town -_-

    Funny how people think a tattoo being satire means it’s -funny- satire. Ironic or not, that’s a pretty offensive tattoo. She can get whatever she wants, and I can dislike it as much as I want.

    I thought it said begging for rope at first so i thought they must like getting tied up.

    But begging for rape?…. why?
    Is she trying to be ironic?
    Is she trying to say people with words tattooed on theyre lower back are “begging for rape?”
    and thats why she said “the only thing I regret is not getting a few curly lines to really tramp it up properly”
    Either way..

    What a dick.
