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.

    Personally, I like seeing the suspensions. We’ve had some gorgeous photos of suspensions posted in the past! Plus, it’s just as much a part of modified culture as a tattoo or a piercing, in my opinion at least. It’s one more thing we do with our bodies.
