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.

Ass Suspension

Written by

Shannon Larratt

Jon tells me that the only reason that people do ass suspensions is because afterwards you’re guaranteed a sweet ass massage. Seems like a lot of effort to me. Thanks to MUTE-ONE from NU ETHIX SUSPENSIONS LLC (and Cutthroat Tattoo) in Wilwaukee, WI for these shots of a well balanced example.

    What the funny part about is about it is that when I was raising him the chair you see in the background was being used as a support for his upper half, but he tried to reposition and the chair did a quick move and shot away and he full on dropped in to the ass-tronaut.

    Interesting that he handled the clothing issue by cutting up a pair of jeans! But damn, OUCH. No ass suspension for me.

    Woah, there’s more skin on the ass than I’d have suspected… Also, that’d be a pain to sit on for a while I can imagine…!
