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.

Just shrug it off

Written by

Rob

He calls it a 2pt deltoid suspension, I call it the “not a care in the world”.  Look at Supa there, you think he cares what anyone thinks?  He’s doing this for himself, and anything else he just shrugs off.

    I’s sure ‘Tony’ has unfortunately got the wrong end of the stick with the ‘look’ of Supa, or is just stereotyping :/

    I’m gonna vote for stereotyping. I don’t see anything in the photo that implies gangbanger.
