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.

Let me axe you something

I know, I cringe too when I hear someone “axe” a question.   Yet seeing this newest addition to the galleries from the incredibly talented Joey Pang (Tattoo Temple in Hong Kong), made me think of things that can be axed.  I know Joey normally does her own designs, yet for some reason I feel I’ve seen this before, or possibly some variation of it.  I’m sure some of the more astute ModBlog readers will be able to find it, if it is indeed an adapted design.

Keep an eye on ModBlog this week for more of Joey’s work, including a floral piece that will blow your mind.

For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced

    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized.

  • 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.
