Body Suspension Tattoo

By now I’ve seen a fair number of tattoos commemorating the suspension experience and membership to various suspension teams, but I thought that IAM:disconnect‘s pretty tattoo of 6ga hooks in a heart with a suspendee in the middle (maybe I should have put this in the previous entry?) deserved recognition.

The tattoo was done by Andy Kurth at Electric Chair in Clio, MI.

Lucky Bastard!

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.

Personally I prefer just doing the math.

First, let me show you how they test their suspension rigs in Australia. This is care of Piercing Pete at The Piercing Urge in Melbourne (as a point of trivia, one of the older shops around, having opened in 1991). It’s a hardwood rig by the way, which presents some contamination worries (many groups are slowly shifting over to autoclavable rigs), but certainly isn’t lacking in the strength department.

In Britain however, even though they’re the punitive parents of Australia, they do things a little differently due to being corrupted by demons from the North. These photos, care of Al Overdrive, give you a sneak peak at how the Psycho Cyborgs test their gear.

You know you’ve been watching too much porn if all you can think about when you’re hanging by your knees like this is whether the crowd is going to notice your boner — rather than worrying whether you’re about to experience a piledriver after the hooks tear out of your knees!

Thanks (and apologies for the dirty comments) to Kat for sending in this picture of her getting picked up by James in Des Moines, Iowa.

Welcome to the Ministry of Pain!

I admit that I’m really behind on work and responsibilities (sorry to everyone who’s had to wait longer than they should for memberships, software, interviews, and so on), so I’m kind of copping out here by taking the easy approach to ModBlog entries that people like: posting pictures of pretty girls who are into body play… Is that really so bad? If it’s good enough for mechanics, it’s good enough for me.

In any case, thanks to Meeshi for sharing photos of her 8ga two-point pull, facilitated care of Shawn Payne at Ministry of Pain in South Lyon, MI.
