Body Suspension Benefit Show May 14th.

Hey Tattooed Fans and Friends, Andy from the San Antonio Alive Inside Suspension Team just emailed me about an upcoming Body Suspension Benefit Show on May 14th at Twenty Grand.

That’s Andy on the left, in one of his Anti-Social/Social Commentary moods. You may recognize him from past suspension events or Platinum Tattoos (the 410 and Evers location).

The Benefit Show will be held at the Twenty Grand Bar on May 14th. All of the money raised from the show and raffle will go directly to special needs children.

Andy and the crew will be raffling TWO one-hour tattoo sessions and ONE two-hour tattoo session. Tickets for the raffle will be $5 each and will be sold at the show. The show will start at 10 pm and there will be NO COVER at the door!

Twenty Grand is located at 410 and Bandera. Look for the Jim’s ON Bandera just North of the intersection, it’s right next door. Get there early, get a good seat for the show and enjoy the great drink specials.

If you would like to find out more about the Alive Inside Suspension Team, here is a link to their website and details will be up within the week. Check out: www.livesuspension.com.

Hey Tattooed Fans and Friends! Have you noticed all these people hanging by ropes and HOOKS from the rafters lately? They are practicing the Art of Body Suspension or Body Modification Suspension - suspending the human body from hooks that have been placed through body piercings. These piercings are usually temporary and are performed on-site just prior to the actual suspension.

Body Suspension is blend of modern body modification and ancient spiritual practices. Once practiced by North American Plains Indians and Southeast Asian aboriginal tribes as a “rite of passage”, recent growing popularity can be directly attributed to Australian suspension artist Stelarc; Fakir Musafar - the “Father of the Modern Primitive movement”; and more recently the television show Mindfreak, whose host Criss Angel suspended himself from hooks attached to a flying helicopter.

Body Suspension is a delicate and detailed process and preparations and suspensions are usually performed by Suspension “Teams”. These Teams often include one or more Professional Piercing Artists. The Team also handles the detailed preparations, body hook placement, safety and sanitary precautions and finally, the actual suspension.

Until recently, the suspension hooks were large fishing hooks that had been modified for body suspension by removing the barbs. The growing popularity of suspension has prompted piercing jewelry and piercing supply companies like Painful Pleasures to develop, test and market 4, 6, and 8 gauge hooks designed specifically for suspension. The remaining body suspension hardware can be as simple as a pulley and nylon rope, or as elaborate as an entire suspension “cage”.
