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.

Amazing Suspension Rigging

Thanks to Bena for this photo of a gorgeous rigging job (one of many) done at the recent Oslo Wings of Desire suscon. It may not involve nuts, but it’s much prettier than BME/HARD-style suspensions.

    I just saw a similar suspension today, but it was only one person, with 28 hooks. Same style as above, but with 8 front, 8 back, 6 each leg(3 inner, 3 outer per leg), the innner ones were used to corset the legs then pulled tight by the outer hooks. (I believe the artist said 30 so I may have forgotten where two of the hooks were.) It was at the Slinging Ink Tattoo Expo in San Antonio. My wife is a tattooist (She’s at Ace Tattoos in San Antonio, TX). I’m just a collector fine skin art myself. I plan to try suspension soon.

    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension.
