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.

Fleshed With Power


Are mustache-finger tattoos a new idea? No. Groundbreaking? Of course not. Still funny? You’re damn right it is. (Well, when Dan does it, at least.) More photos after the jump.

    to “the only smart person around” chill out man. Its a funny tat. You think people who get tattoos or any other body modifications really care what others are gonna think of them now or 25 years from now? NO!!! We don’t give a F***k. We’re not planning out or lives for “descent” slave jobs that tell us what to do with our bodies, and who gives a crap what our children’s teachers say wth, cause we really have to live our lives to yours and all the other squares’ standards. His tats iare hardly even visible if you’re not looking straight at them! So who cares what you think, tats rock!

    Have people not heard of permanent markers? It works fine. And you can wash it off after the joke stopped being funny. Which, I’m betting, is about five minutes later.

    Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing…
    Body modification shouldn’t be a contest, like “mule” is insinuating.
    If one person does something to their body, expect someone else to eventually do the same thing.
    It just goes without saying.
