A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

  • Up, Up, and Away

    Photos from the most recent Dallas SusCon are starting to trickle in, which means we’re going to be seeing some incredible suspensions here really soon.  To kick things off we’ve got the lovely Starr doing a 6pt superman that was facilitated by Wings of Desire.  Photo by Naked Lens.

  • Random Acts of Suspension

    As the first person to ever successfully complete a facial suspension, Supa is always looking for a challenge when it comes to suspension.  At a recent Kaptive8 Suspension Krew event, Supa left it up to chance when it came time to suspend.  The number of hooks, hook placement, and orientation were all randomly drawn from a hat.  In the end it was 7 hooks, spread across his left knee, left thigh, right calf, right upper back, top of the ass crack, right butt cheek, and throat.  Positioning was set as his left side facing up.  So what does a random suspension look like?  This.

  • Two in the chest

    The Dallas Suscon happened last weekend, and hopefully we’ll start to get some pictures in soon.  (I’m looking at you Naked Lens).

    Until then, here’s something from the #Leeds Airlines crew.  This is Viktor’s first suspension ever, and he chose a 2 pt chest for the occasion.

  • ‘Til death do they part

    Leave it up to the crew at #Leeds Airlines to take a suspension and turn it into a postmortem wedding photo.

    Here’s a full shot of the bride’s suspension.

  • Antichrist Superstar

    Recently, at the Sydney Tattoo Expo, Joeltron and the First Blood crew set up some suspensions for the crowd.  One of those suspensions was this 6pt Antichrist suspension.  You can see Joel on the right holding the mic interviewing the suspendee.

  • Flying Zombies

    That’s it.  I can deal with normal zombies.  Heck I’ve even prepared for those fast moving “zombies” that have been plaguing movie theatres.  But if zombies can fly, I might as well just give up now.

  • Send me an angel

    Right now.

  • Haunted

    According to Arseniy, this was called the flying ghost suspension.  Now I’m not sure if it’s because of the 5pt hook arrangement or because that was the title for this #Leeds Airlines photoshoot.

  • On pins and needles

    Alright, this is going to be one of those posts where I start out with a warning.  What you’re about to see is very risky, and shouldn’t be done without extensive knowledge and research.  The materials used in particular are not traditionally used in this way and and the chance for serious injury is high.

    So what’s all the fuss about?  How about a 220 point suspension using only 22ga needles.

    Keep on reading to see what happened when they lifted up the rig.

    As you can see, it ended up being successful, and I can’t even imagine what that must have felt like. Keep in mind that just because this suspension was successful, it shouldn’t be repeated without careful consideration.  You can see the rest of the photos in the Suspension Galleries.

  • Hooked on Dotwork

    For a split second I was going to credit this tattoo to Joeltron, when I realized that Joel uploaded this because it’s on his own back.  I’m guessing that the artist is Naithsolution, given the watermark in the corner, and it was done at First Blood in Australia.  As for the subject matter, anyone who has suspended will easily identify this as a rigging plate and carabiner.
