Suspension

[Guest]

Has anyone here already done one ?

After reading a lot about them, I think I'll do one soon (I have the luck to have a piercer in my friends who knows how to do it correctly and safely, with the correct material).

Could you share your personal experience with these ?

Thanks guys !

EDIT : I'd appreciate if answers like "this is for sickos who like to suffer" could be avoided, as it would be as stupid & reductive as saying that psychoactives are for people who wants to escape reality. I don't enjoy pain in any way and the reason I'm doing this is for the state of mind that'll come after it, once the pain is no more.

I haven't read anything about it, but I've seen it on t.v. and all I can say is, looks painful. I dunno though, it would probably help to be in a high level of meditation.... if you try it make sure to let us know, you got me curious now.

Can you explain what it is exactly?

they put hooks in your flesh and hang you in the air.

[Lion]

Actually, the hooks used are usually intended to catch sharks and octopus.

To clarifiy, the idea behind it is that the massive endorphin rush coupled with the fact of "floating" in the air gives a very strong high, people tend to think extremely clearly.

I don't care about the scars on the mouth of the fish I eat, but i certainly would care about mine. It disables our future one-night-stands, except perhaps with the bearded-lady.
I wish you a nice hanging.

will you let them put the hooks at the same time you will be hung?
or are you using excisting piercings?

That`s some hardcore psychonautic shit man, i couldnt do it :lol:
All the best to you!

The hooks are placed just before the hanging, basically using a spike followed directly by a hook.

Then once the suspension is over, they're all quickly removed, and the wounds are tended to immediately. I think I'll try to have an appointement with a doc the following day, to ask him how I should treat them, I don't mind having scars (I already have a shitload due to other smaller performances), but I'm trying to have them as "aesthetic" as possible.

Otherwise, prior to the suspension, I'll also do a performance that's been on my mind pour a looooooong time, I think you'll find it much more beautiful, pics will follow once it is done

 

[Lion]

wicked, good luck with it.
will you do it on your back? or where exactly?

 

[BrainEater]

sick!!! a week ago i saw criss angel doing this on MTV with a helicopter and flying over the desert like that ....


you must have issues that you wanna do this, mate!! :lol: i can't seem to understand why you don't choose other ways of reaching this mind state??? i bet there are a million other ways .. but hey it's up to you right

maybe you feel like hovering when you don't feel the pain anymore! i bet it isn't easy to bear the pain until the point when you manage to decide not to feel it anymore. i think it's a good challenge for seeing whether your mind is strong enough to be master over the body and be able to "tell it not to feel pain" or somethin like that.

peace & good luck young padawan :weedman:

 

[druglessdouglas]

have you watched this film?

 

[st.bot.32]

I have never done it myself but I've known people into body modification who have tried it or done it ritually. Some people are into BDSM for the same reasons essentially.

Anyway good luck to you Tiax.

Come on, Motorhead is a gentelman's band, Lemmy has nuthing to do with suspension :mrgreen:

 

[Caduceus Mercurius]

I remember seeing images in a book of native american Indians hanging on hooks as a rite of passage. You see it in many Asian trance rites as well. Not my cup of tea though. :wink:

 

[Shake]

Check out my suspension!

 

[magickmumu]

Most cultures have painful rites of passages. Scarification, suspension, the ant glove ritual. Ect.
