Joker sends in this photo of Poppie (with play piercings by him) from when she did her four-point suicide suspension with the British suspension group Constant Elevation (they’re the priapists of the suspension world — or so I deduce from my misreading of the name) at House of Wah, London UK.

Tampa Tattoofest 2006
Crea (S&M body piercing, Sarasota FL) creates St. Sebastien at the Tampa Tattoofest 2006.
Petromodificpolis!
You know, the folks down in Brasil always find the coolest places to suspend. This is from Valnei‘s Petromodificpolis event in Brasil. I think Fabito Goncalves probably describes it very well when he writes, “experincias nicas num lugar mgico, festas, muita diverso, novos amigos, namorada nova e many many more. Resumindo, s me aconteceram coisas boas nesses dias que se seguiram. Dizem por a que uma imagem vale mais que mil palavras. Ento, a vo algumas imagens que mostram alguns desses momentos to especiais.”*
I really need to go back to South America soon.
* Roughly (I speak French, not Portuguese, sorry): “Experiences in a magical place, parties, fun, and new and old friends. Only good things happened in this time. They say a picture is worth a thousand words; here are some that share those special moments.” (more pictures on BME and on his page as well).
Incense Brandings
These nine (the top one didn’t scar) incense brands were done by allowing incense cones to burn out completely on the flesh while meditating (so it’s part body ritual, part permanent body modification) — BME has a small ritual branding gallery as well with a little more stuff.
Happy New Year, BME
Thanks again everyone for a great year! And thanks to Corinne and Clio for this play piercing photo.
Through the Foot
Sorry I made the picture a little dark. I think I stepped on a few too many nails as a farmkid to enjoy this fetish personally, ha… Pretty intense. That said, if you think this is intense, check out the foot crucifixion in the “other” suspensions gallery on BME (sorry, it’s one of the last pages of the gallery so you have to be a member but if someone wants to link some of the pictures from it here that’s fine by me).
Suspended Body Painting for a Photography Final
Puppetmaster13 got to be the puppet for a friend shooting his final photography project and they had Ascension Suspension help them out with this shoot. Maybe it’ll inspire Skullboy Part Two: Fleshboy.
9G and EKA
The funny thing about this suspension show photo in China is (a) the intensely close proximity between performer and audience, and (b) cell phone city.
Elbow Suspension
