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.

Try as I might…

…I couldn’t come up with anything witty to say about this tattoo that did not include the word “horny”.

So for the sake of my editorial professionalism, I will just say these antlers were done by Zack at Uptown Tattoo in Minneapolis.

    Can someone explain the chest antler trend? I feel like I’ve seen half a dozen of them this week (live in New Orleans).
