- 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
- When Tongue Piercings Meet Medicineby Coin-coin le CanapinIn 2010, a German study was published involving subjects with tongue piercings. The tongue piercing was used as part of a device designed to relieve obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is a disorder affecting many individuals. Severely affected individuals may suffer from various long-term… Read more: When Tongue Piercings Meet Medicine
- Suspended, Not Silencedby JonathonThere’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced

Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting.

ARGH, my last comment had grammatical mistakes in!
I was gonna say that I love red-headed guys…
haha i love being ginger and thank you x
how on earth does he kiss anyone?
Bournemouth UK is my original hometown, now i’m an apprentice piercer in Vernon, Canada.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wanted to spread the mad love for my beloved hometown.
it looks awesome i love it ! and i want his hat haha
#53, I don’t know but he does it well
I like your lip plate very much. It looks great. I have had three labrets. I had to take the last one out because I had emergency gall bladder surgery. I had a lot of problems with the surgery. I was unconsious for 24 hours with a ventilator in my mouth. I really don’t want to get pierced for the fourth time. My last labret was 4 guage, and I had a two guage one ready for insertion. Good luck. Thank you for being an inspiration to bod mod people.
i want to know is he going bigger, and if so will he be pulling his bottom teeth? or has he already?
for some reason i think he looks odd which is strange because i’ve seen african women with lip plates and think it’s the most natural thing in the world…so hmm
I think that lip plate looks great .. wish I had the courage to do the same.
Are you calling a halt now … or still plan something even larger??
G.C.,
I love your lip plate! It’s one of the largest in the west. I think only Kali Baaba, the L.A. guru, has one bigger (about 4 inches in diameter) and he also now has an upper lip plate (about 2 inches) too. How big are you going to go? Four to five inches would look and feel awesome! An upper lip plate (like the Sara Kaba, Mousgou or Lobi) would be very nice too. I love the look of the Mursi, Suri (Surma), Kayapo, Suya and Sara. It’s unfortunate to see all the negative comments. If lip plates were common in our culture, these same people would be saying, “He looks naked without a plate!” “How can he eat without one?” “I would only kiss someone with a lip plate, unadorned lips are ugly.”
Keep on stretching!

ive seen this guy in parkstone. mi friends think it looks wrong. but each to their own
i think he rocks
I really respect him for going all-out for what he wants. Personally I think it looks great, and would dearly love to stretch my own labret a lot too – now a measly 4mm. But I’m constrained by my job and mainly by a complete lack of bottle.
You look great and I think the lip plate somehow belongs to your personality, ignore the negative comments!
Hey, this fascinates me! Could never imagine doing it myself but I think it can look brilliant and it really suits you. Well done 🙂
ouch! it looks amazing but i could never do that lol
ouch is all i can sayyy <333
@G.C. I totally saw you in The Inferno pub in Bournemouth and thought you looked like a guy I’d seen on BME, turns out you WERE the guy on BME and I just didn’t realise that you lived in Btown!
Respect to you sir! 😀
