hey everybody,you guys seem very interested in suspensions so let me brake it down(will at least what it means to me).i started doing them away ago.i think im up to 9 or 10 by now.and they all meant different things to me at the time,expect the one for the news that was for awareness and to show people it under a different light,that its not just a sideshow.and ive done 1 or 2 more for that same reason.even thou i dont actually like doing it front of a crowd because it takes away from it all,i do like to help out friends when they ask me.....but getting back to the others....so there are many reasons,i basically use it as a step forward from something.to ease my stress and my mind.i feel no pain or troubles when im hanging,it shows how to use my mind and tells me how wonderfully interesting the human body is,and also how much the body can take.its one of the most freeing things ive ever done in my life........now let me tell you about how it goes down.it take alot of planing between my crew and i before anything happens(supplies,location,etc.)and after we take care of that.i like to take 1 or 2 weeks of getting my body and mind ready for it(no drinking,working-out,etc.)we meet early in the morning(well try)because it is a all day event.when we get to the spot,we set up the piercing station and put the rigs up.then we get are heads clear and ready.after that we clean,mark,and throw the hooks in.when the person is ready after that we attach them to the rigs and let them go up in any style and pace they want.and thats pretty much it.everybody helps,and everybody does it for there own reasons......and yes it is not for everybody but it works for me and many people i know....(bunny:how far can the hooks be inserted,well we message the skin to loosen it up and whatever we can get is what we go through.the more skin the better.its not fun falling.trust me it hurts...how long can you hang:that is really up to the person thats hanging.it can be a mintue,or an hour or even more....scar tissue build up:yes there is some....going through same holes:well you can if want or if theres no more room for new ones,but then you would have to go through scar tissue,which is a bitch...waiting for everything to heal:i would tell everybody to wait and let yourself heal before doing it again,but thats just me.i know people that do it as a sideshow and they do it a couple times a weekend.so its really up to you.but your going to be hurting and also those people are trianed....and last but not least...why so little blood:it varies for person to person.but the blood doesn't really come till after.which i forgot to write and tell you.after you come down and the hooks are removed you must message the back or where ever to get the air bubbles out.then the blood starts to come.its important that you do that(if not you could be going to the hospital and they have to remove them,but its never come to that in my case or any that i've seen),well at least to get most of it out,i like them to leave some in so i can play with them later.they feel like little rice krispys in your back,and they just fade into your body over time.so i hope that anwers your questions.thanks for the interest.)
