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.

Preparing Every Part For You


And finally, folks, here are some soothing suspension shots from the good people with Ascension Suspension. Up top (and, of course, after the jump) is the lovely Mindi Kaiser, swingin’ away, surrounded by birch trees in Jemez Springs in New Mexico, and captured in these beautiful photos by Melissa Shephard. It’s hard to imagine this wasn’t a great experience.

Until tomorrow, ModBloggers. In the mean time, all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

Tattoo Hollywood, BME’s first tattoo convention, is coming to Los Angeles from August 21-23, featuring contests, prizes and some of the best artists from around the world! Click here for more information.

    I was there, it was gorgeous. Mindi was a badass! She threw her first 2 sets of hooks AND picked up 2 different people when she suspended!

    I didn’t know they had birch trees in places like new mexico :s thought the scene looked more like something from Scandinavia.
    I love the setup of the first photo, stilled momentum.
