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.

He’s Home

Earlier this week we got news that Arwen “Spliff” Rosa, one of the four members of the community that was injured in a car wreck back in July was in need of help.  Well with the help of ModBlog readers Arwen is on his way back home from Texas today.

A big thank you to everyone who was able to donate to bringing him home to his family.  As jaded as we can be sometimes, it is good to see that when someone is in need, the community can come together to help them out.

    I would like to encourage everyone to still donate ½ of what the make tomorrow 1/8 to Spliff, Jill and Baby Odessa for Spliff’s Bday. Everyone has put a lot of effort and support to this great cause, so we should not stop now. Thankfully they are back home in NY, But the fight is not over.
    To all the Piercers, Tattooists and Mod artists on this page, Most of us do not get health care insurance, unemployment or paid vacation time. So think about what it’s like not being able to work since July ( times 2) and having a baby due in 7 weeks. And no set date that things will return to normal.
    I would personally like to thank all that have donated and worked to help my friends, It’s been truly amazing to see. Let’s all push to get past the original 20 grand goal and all do everything we can to still help out. If you can’t afford to give ½ of what you make tomorrow please send whatever you can.
    You can go to the NCDDC site to donate

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
  • A Nightbird’s Passage
    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized.

    First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.
