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.

    My plan was to say “I absolutely love this”.
    Now I’m going to have to go with “This is fucking amazing.”

    Simply perfect.

    I really love the simplicity.

    Although, I wonder if the big black squares are covering anything up. That’d definitely be the easiest cover up job ever…

    interesting. never seen anything like this before. i think he should let the square on his abdomen go through his bellybutton.

    I’m starting to love solid black work more and more. It looks really solid (lacking those imperfections that can stand out in black work) and clean!

  18. Adwoa Avatar

    Those are really lovely tattoos.. I cannot imagine how he could sit still for such complete coverage. Ouch!

    I really wanna feed this boy a nice solid, stick to his ribs meal tho. 😉

    i love black work squares, but i can’t understand why he decided to go around his navel. but god damn i do love the concept.

    oh and if we’re going to take pictures in the mirror, can we turn the flash off? thanks.

  21. christina Avatar

    Wow…. just….WOW. He is SMOKIN’. He pulls off the blackwork really well too. I actually kind of like how it goes around the bellybutton, it adds some interest to the piece.

    A.) I love good-looking men.
    B.) I love heavy black work.
    C.) I love simple geometric shapes.

    This is fantastic and I’m inspired to do something like this on myself.

    yeah, i agree, #35. hes not too skinny he just happens to be skinny. he seems to come by it honestly.

    when i saw this i imagined from the black block on his chest that the color would spread out to his whole body like bleeding ink. cool..

    I wonder how long this took and if he’s had them long and if he had to get any touch up work.

    Maybe I’m seeing things but I think I do see old tattoos under the black. A star on the belly, a cross on the chest…
    Great coverup! He looks hot.
