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.

Coming Straight Outta Compton

I LOVE this tattoo. It was done at Golden Lotus Tattoo in  Little Rock, AR, although I don’t know the artist name responsible. If anyone does, please let us know in the comments section.

This Eazy-E Portrait is well laid out , has clean line work, great contrasting colors and it sends a message that continues to ring true even almost 15 years after Eazy-E  passed on to that great ghetto in the sky.
