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.

Sometimes your words just hypnotize me

Hard to believe it’s been 14 years since Biggie was killed.  His music still lives on, and as long as someone can make money off his memory, there will still be “new” songs published.  He’ll also live on in this portrait that Kevin Gordon from Inkaholics in Monroe, NC did on JosephGutshall’s foot.

Not surprisingly you can find this and other portraits that Kevin has done in the portrait tattoo gallery.
