Scarred Wings

These skin removal chestpiece wings were done about a week apart, her right side being freshly cut in this photo, and the left the week before. This ultraclean removal was done by Verno at Holy Mackerel/Visual Addiction in St. Paul, MN. The central star looks like it’s been keloiding very evenly, so I imagine these will look great when they’re done!

Unusual Industrial Piercings

I’ll start with one that’s fairly standard in terms of jewelry for unusual industrials, other than the wonkiness of looping it through the piercings. This custom made piece was done by Oliver at Danse Sabbatique in Tecate, California.

These next three examples using very pretty custom jewelry are all by El Verno at Holy Macherel/Visual Addiction in St. Paul, MN. From left to right they’re a three way industrial with a trillion cut stone, a 6x6mm princess cut cubic zirconia in a vertical industrial, and finally a very cool six-point custom inner cage.

Even chain smokers enjoy suspension

Hey, if you’re a hardcore smoker, I guess it’s not that unreasonable to take a break and smoke while you’re suspending*. Thanks to el Verno at Holy Mackerel in St. Paul, MN for sending in this photo of Sprout taking a puff while hung.

* I’ve got a great photo that I should post some time of my old friend Martini suspending with a beer in one hand, a slice of pizza in the other, and a smoke in his mouth — and it’s just a casual snapshot, not a posed photo.
