FIGURED IT OUT!!! :)

img {
    margin: 0px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 70%;
    left: 50%;
    margin-right: -50%;
    -webkit-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
        -ms-transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
            transform: translate(-50%, -50%)
}

Glad you figured it out! Make sure to add your vendor prefixes to cover yourself cross browser wise. 2d transforms are pretty well supported but I would add prefixes just to be safe!

You absolutely need vendor prefixes if you want iDevices to display properly.

visibility: hidden hides the element, but it still takes up space in the layout.
