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.

    Is there any way to access the old Modblog? I want to find this tattoo that’s a bunch of text, all cut and pasted as a sleeve, like torn up pages from a book.
    Do you remember what I’m talking about?

    Gorgeous, she is totally comfortable suspended like that, it seems like her body is not being stressed out and she’s natural with it. What great shots!

    Beautiful suspension & beautiful photos to match.

    Love it.

    I agree with number 4 completely.

    And 11, I remember what you are talking about. Was there a really awesome skull with it too, or maybe a raven? You should be able to look it up in the search bar.

    Random – Yeah, the search bar is top right. All ModBlog posts were imported to the new system!

    The post Emaline (thanks) mentioned is here.

    No problem, Roo.

    That tattoo is awesome as hell, and slightly makes me want to reconsider my sea creature only tattoos. I’d love a skull like that.

    Random – I had five minutes to kill and looked all the way through the Text tag on ModBlog. Nothing I saw matched your description I’m afraid.

    suspension normally makes me cringe a bit, its just one of those things that when i look at it my legs feel a bit weird… (what can i say, i am a total wimp) but these pictures are immense! lovely stuff. 🙂
