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.

I Hope I Didn’t Brain My Damage


Well, folks, let’s wrap things up with some good old fashioned nightmare fuel. The piece you see above is worn by Dee, and it looks like someone took an old-school wall of flash, threw it in a blender with a few ounces of peyote and let nature take its course. In an excellent way, of course. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to take a cold shower. The coldest.

Until tomorrow, ModBloggers.

(Tattoo by Ian Oliver at Velvet Grip in West Hollywood, California.)

    Ugly. Not because of what it is; but it was just badly done.

    @5 ‘VOMIT’: You don’t even HAVE any tattoos to speak of.

    That being observed, I think this is kickass!

    i don’t think it is poorly done.

    i think the execution of it was completely intentional.
    old flash was lined and shaded the same way.

    traditional tats aren’t for me. though i like them on women.

    this concept though was executed flawlessly.

    neato mosquito!
