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.

MMM Bop? Really?

In the 559 pages of Music Tattoos, I bet you would have almost zero chance of finding another Hanson inspired tattoo (feel free to correct me if I am wrong). Yet, there is one IAM user, who’s username says it all ilovehanson. While in Kansas City, she got this ultimate tribute to the young boys with instruments done by  Andrew Milko at Mercy Seat Tattoo.

    ii LOVE hanson! Always have. and guys, seriously think about this. In a time surrounded by spice girls, Nsync, and Backstreet boys, who wrote their own music? HANSON. Who played INSTRUMENTS? HANSON. they may have been young, but that only makes them MORE talented. I bet you and I couldn’t say the same about ourselves. At least appreciate them for having musical abilities, we all wish we did. I <3 HANSON!
