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.

The yin and the yang, the hard ass and the sweetheart

Feet tattoos scare some people, not having them, but the act of getting them. Hand poked tattoos have that same effect. So when someone get’s a  hand poked foot tattoo, I think it’s safe to assume they are somewhat of a badass…….yet with the pink toenails all the sudden they seem sweet and approachable. So here’s a pair of bad ass, yet sweet and approachable feet tattooed by  Biran Wood of Self Made Studio in Asheboro, NC.

    Rob’s actually at a beard-a-thon right now, rocking out with his whiskers out.

    Don’t fret though, he will soon return to his regularly scheduled modblog duties.

    Are they supposed to be a mirror image ? My eyes were going wrong till I realised one had an extra inner line, and the other (the ring foot) an extra outer line. I know nothing of specific designs so may be missing something.

    They are a labyrinth. The extra line is supposed to be there

    I have a hand poked tattoo by this same artist, but since it’s sissy flowers, don’t think it make me badass. Was an awesome experience, though.
