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.

    Why would you get a tattoo simply for the originality of it? I’ve seen very few completely original pieces in my life. Somebody else is inevitably going to be doing what you are. Big deal. That’s life.

    This is kinda cute.I like that you can make different ‘poses’ or moods with it.

    I can not believe someone would seriously be THAT retarded to do this. Even worse, I can not fathom how many idiots are on this site thinking it’s cool. Wait 25 more years and let’s see if you think it’s still cool. Good luck ever getting a real job and explaining to your children’s teachers what the crap is your problem. Goodness get a life seriously…Maybe a few brain cells too. I see the public school system failed yet another child……
