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.

    I would have to say that this is probably my favorite hand tattoo if not more.
    It’s an awesome tattoo.
    Congrats on coming up with it.
    I just hope someday I can think of a tattoo as amazing as this one.

    My first reaction: wow. I think thats one of the best tattoos I’ve seen in a long time, if not ever. Thumbs up to the wearer for chosing it, and thumbs up to the artist who made it happen. Again… wow!
