BME: Body Modification Ezine

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.

Resurrection Suspension

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I’ve mentioned on more than one occasion that I think resurrection suspensions are one of the prettiest forms by far, and how happy I am that Steve Truitt and the record holding and celebrity studded Ascension Suspension Team out of Albuquerque, NM are regular contributors (and not just because of the gratuitous involvement of pretty girls in their shows, honest).

I really love the pink girlie star-punched suspension rig above, as well as the spiderweb in the pictures below (and I’ve previously commented on their pentagram rig as well).

Oh yeah, and here’s what happens to bad girls who suspend.

    These pictures make me wish for time to pass faster – sixty-seven days and I get to do this, too.
    Thanks everybody for the inspiration.
