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.

Your body is your soul

That’s the philosophy that BubbaSquirrel has, which he chose to reflect in his facial tattoos.  Taking the phrase, “Your body is your soul”, translating it to Thai, and then having Taka Tamada from Body Electric in LA jumble it up and mix it with shapes, was what went into this unique looking piece.

You can check out the full size image in the face and neck tattoo gallery, or in the scalpelled lip gallery with his large lip disc put in by James Wiz (also from Body Electric).

    Thanks everyone. My ear is healing from a little scalpeling. What you see there is a large scab, looks a lot worse than it is.
