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.

A Sadness Bowl


Kentucky Pride! I have to say, I’m really enjoying the “rising sun” motif with ol’ Colonel Sanders over top, there. I’m still waiting for the cagematch tattoo featuring Wilford Brimley, the Quaker Oats man and the aforementioned Colonel fighting it out to the bloody death. Don’t let me down, America.

After the jump, just for fun, two of the finest bits of KFC-related comedy you’ll probably see all day.

    Although I’m not the biggest fan of KFC (I’ve been boycotting it for over 2 years now), I still get a laugh out of this tattoo. It’s very well done, IMHO. I, also, like the “rising sun” motif.

    Classy =P

    guess it’s cool, but KFC is from Utah. It was just called Kentucky fried chicken because Utah Fried chicken sounds awful.
