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.

….and this little piggy had none

Before you ask, no, I don’t know who Ben Compton is. Nor do I know where this little piggy went, or if it went voluntarily or accidentally. I do however know that this is my new favorite amputation related tattoo.

PS: Yes, the (unrelated) amputee interview is coming, I had a program crash and had to start back at square one, but it is underway!

    It’s pretty similar to this one that’s been knocking round the net for a few years: http://yourtattoosucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/missing-toe-pig-market.jpg

    I could swear I’ve seen this somewhere before, definitely one of the most humorous tattoos ever.

    I have seen a similar one with the big toe missing that says, “Gone to market. Love, Pig.” Both are pretty awesome tattoos for sure.

    Seems as though the only relevant Ben Compton is a lawyer who specialises in corporate manslaughter, health and safety at work, commercial crime and personal injury. Quite possibly this person lost their toe due to a workplace accident? Either way the humour is just not there, at all. Fan of the tattoo though.
