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.

What’s a zed-pee-em?

About a month ago we caught a glance of Zobro’s Stargate tattoo.  Well she’s back today to show off the entire thing.

Credit for this geeky tattoo goes to Pat Hulit from Crawling Panther Tattoo in Ocala, FL.

    I’m a huge Stargate fan, but this just doesn’t do it for me at all.

    The tattoo itself is technically good and the artist has talent, but as a Stargate fan I just don’t like what’s been done with the glyph.

    deVs ex machina – it would bug me for evermore even though I’m sure it’s supposed to look like that.

    at Steve: It’s Latin. They used to write ‘u’ as ‘v’ back in those days.

    Her nipples are probably needle-sharp, thus enabling her to keep the shirt up without obvious visible straps. With that said, she can prick me with those things any time she likes. 😉

    Obviously i’m not big enough of a fan, i’ve watched Stargate quite a few times, but i don’t get how the tat is about the show 🙂 I like it anyway, visually and because of the text.

    @Linda: the “A” shaped symbol in the middle is Earth’s Point of Origin, which is part of the dialing sequence for Earth. It’s also a pretty recognizable symbol from the show (in the title shot and whatnot). I was using “deus ex machina” in a kind of tongue-in-cheek way about the Goa’uld.

    Awesome tat. I love the deus ex machina nod to the goa’uld. (I have a stargate tat as well but won’t hijack this thread about it)
