'''Superman suspension''' is a form of [[Category:Suspensions|suspension]] in which the body is suspended horizontally with [[Flesh hook|flesh hooks]] along the back and legs (and sometimes the arms and head as well, although those are often just [[Strapped|strapped]] instead or left free). Superman suspensions allow the suspendee less motion than in suspensions like [[Suicide suspension]], but are generally considered more "tranquil". Also, due to the fact that the hooks can be distributed to a larger area of the body, this style is considered to be the easiest of the suspensions. Most novices find this to be a good first suspension. It seems the biggest complaint about this suspension is that back of the legs can be a very sensitive, and piercing them is a somewhat upsetting thought to many.
Surgical masks are generally worn for personal protection to help reduce the wearer's exposure to bodily fluids, blood, etc.


The superman suspension was one of the first named suspensions, the naming having been done collectively by the people at [[Body Manipulations SF]] (including [[Allen Falkner]]).
Some [[Body modification|body modification]] artists choose to wear them during a [[Modification|modification]] procedure for hygienic reasons and to protect them from potential [[Biohazard|biohazard]] exposure as well.


The female version is called a Superwoman.
However, not all surgical masks are created equal, and some serve different purposes depending on what kind of protection one may require.

Surgical masks are generally worn for personal protection to help reduce the wearer's exposure to bodily fluids, blood, etc.

Some body modification artists choose to wear them during a modification procedure for hygienic reasons and to protect them from potential biohazard exposure as well.

However, not all surgical masks are created equal, and some serve different purposes depending on what kind of protection one may require.
