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.

Now that’s a happy birthday!

Written by

Well when you’re friends with the Sinner Team, and your birthday rolls around, you know you’re going to be in for something special.

That young man up there is Serge, and he just turned 28.  So, in honor of his birthday he got to have a superman suspension, Sinner Team style.

Keep reading to see what happened next.

Well, seeing as how this was Serge’s 28th birthday, the Sinner Team threw 28 hooks into him, and suspended him for 28 minutes.

Of course, no birthday is complete without a birthday cake, so with 28 candles all lit and ready to go, Serge got to make a wish.

There are a lot more photos from the suspension, and you can check them out in the superman suspension gallery.
