Suspension (body modification)

Suspension body modification is a type of body modification where people hang from hooks that are pierced through their skin. They hang from the hooks for short periods of time so that the skin has time to stretch and adjust to being pierced. This type of body modification is usually done for the purpose of self-expression and for the experience of being held up and supported by the hooks. It can be performed safely with the help of a professional piercer and it can produce amazing results if done correctly.
