Strike Branding Video

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I haven’t posted a video in some time, even though my old friend Jonathan Piercing has very generously sent me a nice pile of them (some of the heavier ones are on BMEvideo)… So I’m going to start posting them so everyone can enjoy them! I’ll start with his XXX stomach strike branding. I enjoyed this video a lot because it really captures the fun and emotion and endorphin response of this artform. [Especially] those of you who’ve had strike branding done I think will enjoy this also.

Pierced arm stub

Written by

Shannon Larratt

I’ll post more stuff later tonight, but before I got started on other projects this morning I wanted to post this “arm stub piercing” done by Devin in Oregon. The jewelry through the nipple-like protrusion on the end of the stub is a 14ga 3/8″ curved barbell.

I love it when people take active and proud control of their body, no matter how it’s shaped!

Lucky Bastard!

Written by

Shannon Larratt

You know, some piercers have all the luck, starting with Michael Moore over at VooDoo Tattoo in Bay City, MI who did a girl-girl corset piercing recently, splitting a dozen rings between two girls in matching lingerie (oh yeah… what would you do if you had a million bucks?).

Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying the 2006 return of ModBlog. There won’t be any posts tomorrow because I’m trying to take a day a week off as a general rule, but watch for more on Monday evening.

Held by Hooks, and Each Other
by Jonathon
June 12, 2025
Facilitators and practitioners — the very people who bring so many suspensions to life — often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities. Brenton and Brittany are one such example. Traveling all the way from Houston, TX, they came to the… Read more: Held by Hooks, and Each Other

Suspended, Not Silenced
by Jonathon
June 6, 2025
There’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
A Nightbird’s Passage
by Jonathon
June 3, 2025
Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
by Jonathon
May 30, 2025
First suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetry
by Jonathon
May 28, 2025
One of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place. When you’re surrounded by people who not only understand the technical complexities of suspension but are excited by the challenge… Read more: Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetry
