Darren (of Pierce It Studio in Basingstoke) did his first suspension this past Sunday with the assistance of Quentin Inglis (of Kalima fame), Mel, and Lou. They found a beautiful spot in the forest and rigged to a tree. I’m not actually posting the pictures of the suspension here (but you can watch a video of it on Facebook here if you’re his friend), but I did want to share this portrait of him at the scene because I thought it was a real nice picture of him. You can also see his implants, including his very unusual lightning bolt right down the centre of his forehead, which creates a unique piece of personalized anatomy.

I think implants can be gorgeous at times, but I’m turned off by their inconsistency :-/ I know that it must be really hard to get an implant to heal in the exact desired placement with the desired shape in bold outline, but I just don’t like how they look if they’re off-center or lumpy looking or impossible to really see. All I can make out in this photo is a big amorphous blob in the middle of his forehead, even though the original silicone carving might have looked just like a lightning bolt. I know that I, personally, won’t be getting anything put under my skin any time soon .
