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.

This is why guys suspend.

Jennica sends in this photo of Scotty’s first suspension (c/o High Priestess Piercing in Eugene, OR) with Georg and Dana. After the initiation you get a reward… What I like especially is the guy’s VENI VEDI VICI — emphasis on VICI.

    Veni Vidi Vici
    was made famous by Julius Caesar after a recent victory over Pharnaces II of Pontus in the Battle of Zela.
    It is in latin and it is spelled VENI! for latin any way…
    It Means
    I came
    I saw
    I conqured

    you may think that the v is pronouced with an english v but it is pronounced with a latin v wich is actualy a w
    so it would be pronouced
