The Friday Follow-up

Wow this week seems to have flown by.  We’ve had ear pointing, foot tattoos-a-plenty, an interesting round of “Guess What?”, and of course the birthday of our own Sean Philips.  Now that Friday is here, it’s time for this week’s follow-up.  This week we’re looking at a scar we saw just over a month ago from Misty.  Her Santa Muerte scar blended in Catholic imagery of Mary to create a good looking scar.

To see how it looks today, you know what to do.

There’s still a lot of healing to go and the scar will probably change as time goes on, but at this point it’s clear that the details in the cuts took, which should lead to a relatively even scar down the line.  It wasn’t long ago that we saw Misty’s first attempts at scarification, but if her work continues to improve as it has, we can look forward to a lot of great looking scars from her in the future.

    Thats nice. However, she’s not blended with catholic imagery (in her case the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, as opposed to Mary herself), she *is* catholic imagery.

  • Tethered in Time
    Some suspensions are planned down to the last detail—others arise suddenly, yet carry just as much meaning.

  • Held by Hooks, and Each Other
    Facilitators 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

  • Suspended, Not Silenced
    There’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
  • A Nightbird’s Passage
    Some stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. 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

    First 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. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
