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.

The Invasion is Imminent


Umm, Jesus. For those of you who were wondering why that terrifying eyeball tattoo had a crack at the bottom, it’s because it was opening a portal to hell, which has allowed godless monsters like this beast to escape. Is it a steam whistle, filled with demons? Don’t look at it for too long.

(Tattoo by Billy the Bastard at Custom Inc. in Glasgow, Scotland.)

    This looks very similar to a tattoo done by Gary Wiedenhof of Inkredible Creations, also in Scotland. He has it on his business card. Is it a common theme in graffiti?
