My friend Shawn had me brand a pentagram 6.660 inches wide in the center of his back in mid 2006. You can see he had a few suspension scars when the brand was first completed. At the bottom is a healed photo of his brand taken this week two years old and you can see in two years he has suspended more times than I can count scars.
Dirk from Naked Steel had obtained a set of tools from me and had the opportunity to sit in on a few pieces of work that I was commissioned to do. The star that he put in her chest looks absolutely fabulous! He is sporting one of my trilobite T-shirts and on his web site I’m sporting one of his Betty T-shirts.
So more on my transdermal rants. First I will show a picture of John Gomes he had transdermals for 11 years. After about two years he started to have on and off inflammation problems. After battling with them for the last nine years he had me removed them two months ago.
Here is a picture of Hiro. The transdermal on his forehead are nine years old with no problems. His dual metal mohawk is five years old again no problems.
David Smith has had over 50 transdermal and had one rejection, the red arrow pointing to that rejection. If my math is right that’s 98 percent present and accounted for. The first ones are over 8 years old.
Sean O’Hare has four transdermals on his forehead that are four years old, no rejection.
JJ a musician in a band called SIL had his transdermal for four years before its was whacked by guitar onstage. This was a second generation transdermal. By the obvious condition it was necessary to remove it. Had it been a third generation transdermal I believe it would have withstood the blow but I had not yet modified transdermals to third generation at that time. Seeing this damage is what prompted me to modify the design.
Shawn had 2 2ga transdermals five years ago, still looking beautiful today.
Daniel had a dual row metal mohawk consisting of 14 transdermals and healed them and two months time with H2Ocean also 5 years old with no rejection.
A great man once said “liars figure but figures don’t lie” I never state my opinion as fact. That being said I will continue to post more about transdermal successes and failures. I have been working for a long time on a very detailed an extensive blog about the magnetic finger implants which will be coming soon detailing the exact facts about the great successes and a few failures revolving around that modification. That blog will be based solely on facts, not emotions, theories, conjectures or rumors.
Steve Truitt’s transdermals are eight years old with no signs of rejection.
Life Suspended did a prom dance theme for Fetish Prom. Brandy and Vince amazed 1100 people in their ability to look graceful on a spinning beam. Koz from 313 Suspension Team of Chicago came out for the show and helped.
We moved into our current house about six months ago and discovered a jackrabbit living in our front yard. We are about 20 miles from any desert so I thought it was odd to have a desert dweller cohabitating with us. Then I noticed that its right ear has been split, what are the odds of having a modified jackrabbit nesting next to a truck with a MODIFY license plate.
Mercedes who pierces at Club Tattoo had me brand star outlines from her ankle all the way to her wrist. The five stars on her calf were done a week earlier and the rest were done that evening. One tough girl.
The first work I had ever done on Jesse Star were transdermals almost seven years ago. Then over the last few years we have done subcutaneous horns which are now at third generation. Jesse had cuttings done on his forehead multiple times but was not happy with the results so we did laser branding over the previous cuttings to get a much more distinct scar. The brandings actually start at the beginning of the forehead and end at the back of the neck. A little note on a transdermals, some people say that they reject 50 percent of the time. The ones that I have produced and installed so far seem to have about a 90 percent success rates. Apparently someone produced transdermals out of 303 stainless steel which contains lead that were installed by other artists which had caused a significant rejection rate. I would hate to think that people would include those rejection rates in reference to my work. As I run into other people who I have done transdermals on I will post pictures and clarify how long the transdermals have been in.
Josh who is a friend of mine in Florida (God for bid you do any modification in Florida-he came to me in sunny Arizona) had me do 2 gauge transdermal horns. He recently sent me some special bent titanium to create huge horns for his forehead. They are only three ounces in combined weight. They have special centers that have 360 degree axis adjustment so once the centers have been tightened to the transdermal the horns can be aligned in which ever direction he prefers. The labor of this project was performed by Willow and the quality of his work is obvious in the photo.
Life Suspended did a beautiful suspension at Fetish Revolutions on February 9. JD was a dark Angel helping a soul get to heaven.
