Some days, it’s very good to know an implant artist.

- 65 needles (and not enough)by ToriWe’re working our way through submissions! Thanks to everyone who has emailed so far. The initial goal of this 65-needle play piercing sent in by Elly was to see how many piercings Phebe could handle. They still don’t know: the team ran out of needles… Read more: 65 needles (and not enough)
- The Weight We Carry, the Hooks We Takeby JonathonDana and Cherish, two seasoned practitioners from the Portland area, made their way to the Ontario Suspension Convention this year — not just to support others, but to step into the experience themselves.

- Tethered in Timeby JonathonSome suspensions are planned down to the last detail—others arise suddenly, yet carry just as much meaning. For Kyle and Aly, what began as a spontaneous idea became a deeply symbolic expression of shared history and emotional connection. The number of hooks told a story… Read more: Tethered in Time
- Held by Hooks, and Each Otherby JonathonFacilitators and practitioners—the very people who bring so many suspensions to life—often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities. Brenton and Brittany are one such example. Traveling all the way from Houston, TX, they came to the Ontario Suspension Convention not… Read more: Held by Hooks, and Each Other

Yowzer – how long had that been in there?

Yeah, some kind of backup story for this is needed. Or at least would be greatly appreciated.

I don’t have a story for you. The note it came with basically just said “ILLEGAL”, and I don’t think they want me to say who they are here.
But I’m guessing that bullet has not been there long because there’s no breakdown of the metal nor does there appear to be an attempt by the body to encapsulate it in any way.

I was under the impression that bullets deform upon impact. Guess it depends on the bullet and what it hits.

Top left photo shows, what I assume is, the entry wound which is quite well healed by the looks of it.

This was crazy, especially given the location. Lots of nerves and easy for an inexperienced “surgeon” to create a pneumothorax. Yikes.

Yeah, that doesn’t look real. The bullet is too clean and doesn’t look like it’s been fired.

I think top left is showing where an exit wound would’ve been. Top right looks like an entrance wound on the front. I feel so CSI..

Yoatal – I thought that too, but it seemed like a lot of trouble to go to for a prank. Cudos to them if that’s what it is!!!

of course the bullet has been fired, the rifling marks are clearly visible. I just don’t understand how they knew where to locate it?

Good point Joe.
It’s entirely possible that the bullet was located while in the hospital, but was not in a retrievable location, but migrated over time to an easily accessable place. The entrance wound looks quite healed, so it would have had a lot of time to move.

Full metal jackets don’t really deform much unless they hit something hard, like bricks, wood, bone… That said, that looks like a very small caliber bullet, maybe a .25, possibly as small as a .22. You really don’t get a lot of penetration with something like that; I’ve seen a case where a guy got shot at an angle in the chest, and the bullet kinda skipped off the muscle and traveled under the skin around to his side where it lodged, still just under the skin. Painful, but not life threatening.
I’d be willing to be that he never went to the hospital. Hospitals prefer to take bullets out unless they’re lodged near the spine, and that bullet isn’t deformed, so that seems unlikely. Hospitals also tend to report gunshot wounds to the police; I’d personally bet that the unwilling bullet recipient didn’t want that kind of attention.

that’s way bigger than a 22, and hospitals often don’t take bullets out, unless it’s very close to the surface of the skin… most times retrieving the bullet will cause more trauma to the body (even if it is only aesthetic) than leaving it in will…

Adding to what Nyarlathotep said, I actually had my first implant done (back in 1994) by an RN that did work like this (removing bullets for people who don’t want to go to the hospital for whatever reason) on the side as well…

They might be from a country that has no free/affordable healthcare. That language looks like Brazilian to me (I may well be wrong though) I imagine seeking hospital treatment could possibly result in the police getting involved.

Veal, I believe that’s Spanish, and the major language of Brazil is Portugese.

That is, in fact, Spanish. It says “There is a bullet here”
Here there be bullets!

“Mum! I was having a wank and I shot the dog!”

i realy believe this is fake as that bullet has not yet been fired, well not from a gun anyway, as is it still in perfect shape, and there is no scortch marks on it.

I can see rifling marks.

Has anyone checked out that mark under his arm pit? Could that potentially be an old entry hole?
