Bella Vendetta is a founding member of Rites of Passage Suspension Group, http://ariteofpassage.org and an active member over the last 13 years. ROP performs safe and sterile flesh hook suspensions as part of a rite of passage for individuals and at large gatherings as well as using suspension as performance art on stages across the globe.

ROP has chapters in MI, TX, RI, CT, NJ, NY, MA, CT. We have our most active chapters in NYC, Boston and here in western MA (berkshire county)

we have a permanent indoor location with heat in the berkshires for suspension, and always prefer to do outdoor suspensions in the woods when weather allows. The members of the group frequently attend suspension conventions and events internationally as teachers leading workshops and sharing education with other practitioners in the body modification industry.

Bella herself has done many shows on stages across America, as well as appearing on both the National Geographic Channel and the discovery channel, most notably on Humanly Impossible, clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_FW-TIpDGE
