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.

Stretching it out

Written by

Rob

Lately we’ve been seeing a lot of big dramatic suspensions on ModBlog, so today we’re going to go back to basics with a really peaceful looking single knee suspension.

You can see just how at peace he is while his body is in a relaxed state hanging by his knee.  While suspensions can be for fun and for show, it’s good to remember that they’re also a way to get in touch with one’s spiritual side, and use the time in the air as a time of meditation and reflection.

    For me, body suspension first and foremost is about personal enlightenment, so that picture captures it pretty well.

    This is Chase Campbell! I have had several procedures done by him, scarification, lobe work, a couple microdermals, he does it all. If you’re ever in West Virginia check him out, he’s a very cool guy to talk to, and is very professional with his work.
