Hey now, it’s been a while since we’ve checked in with La Negra and her pals, eh? Time to correct that! Here we have some shots of Towa‘s first suspension, facilitated by the aforementioned La Negra, as well as Valnei and photographed by Martinetik. First suspension ever, surrounded by a crew like that and wearing a jaunty ascot to boot? That’s a recipe for a good time, folks. A shot of the refractory period, including a nice view of Towa’s shoulder scarification, after the jump.

This morning’s wake-up call comes courtesy of IAM: joao_caldara, who I swear to God cannot get out of bed without taking part in a beautifully photographed suspension. This one was done with the help of Valnei Santos of Outlaws Tattoo, and took place in Petropolis, RJ, Brazil. A few more photos after the jump.
To continue the suspension saga that is João and Valnei, here’s a sweet video of the chaps reaching dizzying new heights on a spinning beam.

Yeah, Yeah. It’s Valnei and Co. again, but they really do send in some pretty suspension footage!*

As they say… location, location, location!
Along with a boat full of suspension gear, Valnei and friends rowed out to the wreck of the Mara Hope, an old tanker ship that sunk just off the coast of Fortaleza, Brasil in the early eighties.
More photos continue after the break…
Rigged to the boat’s crane, they did a guerilla two-point o-kee-pa style chest suspension… I’d wager this is the first suspension off a shipwreck?
Valnei (Happy Birthday!!), Bez, and Gibi playing at the gym (well, admittedly I’m just assuming that from the rock climbing wall) with Universo Tattoo Body Art in Brasilia D.F., Brasil. I guess it made rigging very convenient!
Photos by Michael Lennertz and Jony Anderson of Joao_Caldara suspending in an inverse crucifixion at Petromodificpolis (RJ, Brasil) in 2006 with the help of Valnei. I know I’ve posted a few photos of suspension at this location, but I’m really in love with the setting!
Yesterday I posted Fabito’s Petropolis suspension, but I love the set that they found — an abandoned and run-down ski-lift — so much so that I wanted to also share Helena‘s first suspension experience which took place there, by Valnei, with Joao’s help as well. Two more photos: shot in less contrast, closer shot of Helena.
