South Africa has been really coming on strong with the amazing submissions recently! This one comes to us from Wildfire Piercing in Cape Town South Africa. It was done by Stuart Woods who was Assisted by his partner Lliezel Ellick.
While the hooks look a bit questionable to me, aesthetically this suspension (and in particular this picture) is just stunning.

not everyone bleeds every time they have hooks in them. in fact most times there’s not noticeable blood until you’re well into the suspension or taking the hooks out.

the hooks are open eye ones not close eye ends, notice where the hook connects to the rope, this could pose a possible weak point, although i would assume the person/s involved are well educated performing suspensions and if they had a past problem wouldn’t use them.
cracking pic!

Not even gonna touch the hooks issue here but rather respond to this,
“come on, that little thing could of went up on that many safety pins & they would of held.”
Its this kind of thinking by the general public which allows idiots to start trying suspension and seriously hurting people.
Those hooks are highly questionable and the only thing that would make it ok is if it was mentioned beforehand to the suspendee that safety was being compromised for a photo op and the suspendee and artists both understood the possible risks involved and deemed it was acceptable for those pics.
But as hooks, they are almost unforgivable as the knowledge on what to use and why is pretty much completely out there for anyone wanting it.

Then again i could be completely wrong and those hooks could have been made under the strictest of watch and have full data sheets on them with an insane MBS.

Knowing her, I’d say she has very good knowledge about hooks and suspensions… so I’m quite confident she knew what she was doing…

It was awesome to be a part of this series…photograph by Clare Foxcroft Williams (Sweet Nausea Photography Facebook group)…she did a pain ritual series as her final body of work for her graduation from art school.

I have trusted my life, and many of my friends’ lives, with those hooks and their kin who are exactly the same shape. They have never failed me and I would never jeopardise anyones’ safety by using substandard tools.
To Cere…I feel it’s your arrogant attitude that ruins so much of the beauty and spirit of the piercing industry. Instead of celebrating the presence of like minded humans, it comes down to the horrid irrelevance of my hooks are better than yours???? So sad.
