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.

WWNPHD?

Sometimes, when I’m moderating photos for BME, I’ll happen upon something that makes me laugh, right out loud.  This is one of those times.

This is a work in progress, sent in by Jamie Santos of Scarab Body Arts. In case you don’t know who the tattoo is (really?), it’s none other than Neil Patrick Harris. The red skin around the tattoo tells us this was taken fresh after a sitting. I’m looking forward to seeing the completed piece.

Well kids, have a happy, fun and safe weekend and when you’re out there living it up, don’t forget to ask yourself, “What Would Neil Patrick Harris Do?”

    im assuming the person who posted this tattoo is on this site. Which makes me ask “would all you people shitting on this tattoo be as brave in person?” Meaning, all you people can sit and pick and shit on work and make the wearer feel like a piece of shit, but if you saw it in person i bet you’d all be like “wow, thats awesome!”. Gutless bunch of cowards.

    @lily, it’s bad work, end of. If the person came up to me and asked me, I would say, that is a bad tattoo. I know this is meaningless coming over the internet, so take it for what it’s worth. There’s no need to be a dick about it,, true, but bad work needs to be called out as bad work.
