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.

    Yum, absolutely delicious… Curious, I’ve always assumed the best cuts for bloodplay would be across the collarbone… can still grip the shoulders or make use of the chest, without digging in.. avoids the neck, still heavy blood flow but nothing dangerous.. Am I wrong?

    #9, sadly the disease thing was one of my first thoughts as well. It would be so nice if those concerns weren’t necessary…

    there is actually very little blood. most of it was syrup and food coloring from the final act where pig intestines and pig hearts were pulled from sacks to resemble the disembowelment. so don’t worry, it was pretty damn safe.

    The blood was fake. Sorry to disappoint. But, I think that was one of our funnest performances yet. Thanks Vine and CandyXXX.

    Ahh! My first look at this picture was a panic attack. I’m glad to hear that the blood was fake. I think this picture sends a bad message to the uninformed. I can’t even look at the girls because of it.

  • Tethered in Time
    Some suspensions are planned down to the last detail—others arise suddenly, yet carry just as much meaning.

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
  • A Nightbird’s Passage
    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
  • What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting.
