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.

Now This Is Just Wrong


I’ll admit that I was totally surprised when the last tattoo by Josh Weir we featured on here—which, if you’ll recall, featured a lady’s nether-regions covered in splatters of blood and semen—was not only not frowned upon, but, um, was actually pretty widely enjoyed by our readers. Clearly, this emboldened Mr. Weir, because he has now checked in with this piece done on his friend Allen—who he calls “a fucking trooper”—which…is kind of grisly, right? Then again, I was expecting him to get raked over the coals over his last offering and it ended up being a huge success. As we’ve determined in the past, I have no idea how you, the readers, will respond to pieces like this; this could get 300 comments of fawning praise, or Weir could be drafted to fight Mike Beer to the death inside Thunderdome. Neither would surprise me, honestly.

    The content of the tattoo is reminiscent of a “troubled teen” illustration, one the teacher would see scribbled on the back of someone’s notebook and get sent to the guidence counseler.
    Did Jeremy, the one who Spoke In Class Today, draw this perhaps?
    Maybe we’re looking at this all wrong. Maybe this person’s mom molested them as a child.
    Perhaps his rage towards women is valid.
    The quality of the tattoo is nothing remarkable, I must say. Quite average, indeed.
    My world is not rocked.

    I’m unimpressed. Not just because the content seems misogynist, but the actual artwork is bad in my opinion. her face has barely any detail and that does not look like a vagina at all.
