Many of you know Misty from her work over HookLife, as well as her scarification work I’ve posted in the past. Well recently Lucas from the Springfield chapter of AGRO came to visit her and she was able to combine both her love of suspension and her talent as an artist.
That’s the AGRO logo in case you didn’t know.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one right?
On the plus side, an eye patch will make her look like a pirate.
You might not recognize her, but that’s IAM: IntoXiKate in a photo shoot she did with NuStudio back in July.

We haven’t seen much of Richard ‘Effin’ Ivey in the past few months. The reason is he’s been pretty busy knocking out more scars to show off. On top of that, Rich is going to be moving out to the west coast soon, so if you’re on the east coast and want to get some work done, you better get in touch with him at Warlocks in Raleigh, NC.
Here’s a fresh Parisian grave marker scar that Rich recently completed.

A few days ago (Aug 25th) the #Leeds Airlines (St. Petersburg, Russia) and Flying Pigs (Tallinn, Estonia) suspension teams grouped up to host a One Hook Day event. They set up shop in an abandoned warehouse in St. Petersburg, with only one rule; all suspensions can only use one hook. Now single point suspensions aren’t anything new, but they’re still rare enough that you don’t see them very often. Part of the reason why they’re not as popular as other suspensions is that they’re incredibly intense suspensions, both physically and mentally. They’re definitely not something a first time suspendee would be recommended to try, and often it’s veterans who seek them out.
Now the suspension you’re seeing below is a pair of single point suspensions, but you’ll notice that the hook is off center. The reason is that this is actually what Arseniy called a “1pt shift-suicide”. From what I can tell it appears that the two guys suspending are pierced off-center, but by joining hands their weight is shifted enough for everything to balance out. So not only are these guys participating in an intense suspension, they’re doing it together. Without the other person, the weight would be off center and could become uncomfortable, but by linking together they’re forging a bond that no other source could even hope to accomplish. I can’t even begin to describe what it would have been like for the two of them, but knowing how emotionally and physically taxing suspensions can be, it’s safe to assume that this is something they’ll remember for a long time.
Keep an eye on the #Leeds Airlines gallery for more photos from One Hook Day.

Here’s something new from Gabor Zagyvai (IAM: Wyrd). While it still is in line with his minimalistic style, the geometric designs combined with the dotwork isn’t what we’re normally used to seeing from him.

IAM: Shadowkult prepped for her angel suspension with the B.E.S.T Suspension Team by knocking back a can of pop (or soda depending on what state you’re in).
Once she was finished she told the team to “Super Size me”, which they obliged by lifting her up to impressive heights.

I’m going to sing the doom song now!
IAM: wh0reg4sm loves robots, and Gir is one of her favorites, so thanks to Rachel Garrison from Devotion Ink in Nashua, NH, she’ll have Gir with her forever.
Doom doom doom, doo doo doom doom.
