BME: Body Modification Ezine

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.

Suspending Passion

Written by

Rob

To the great many people out there that suspend, it can easily become a strong passion in their life.  Southtownbaby is one such person.  We’ve seen her on ModBlog before with her bird of paradise scar.  Today, we get to see her enjoying something she has a passion for.  As a bonus, she’s even shared with us something special, just to show you how much suspending means to her.

The ressurection suspension was facilitated by Hanging City Suspensions down in Fort Smith, AZ.

Keep reading to see the added bonus…

This 3-D implant was designed and crafted by Steve Haworth, and was put in by JesseStar

Well, that’s it for 2010 ModBlog.  I hope everyone has a fun and safe new year’s eve.  And remember, you’re always welcome to join me and the rest of the BME staff at the BME NYE Party!  Just check the event listing for all the details.

    Resurrection suspensions are always beautiful (but my least favourite to do!) and that implant is gorgeous. Steve makes amazing pieces, and I’d love to see it healed.

    Thanks for posting these Rob. The implant is healing so well, Jesse did an amazing job. And the suspension was a great time, and such a fun one to do. But we are out of Fort Smith, Arkansas not Arizona 😉
