Hi there BME,
So recently I’ve been contemplating about doing a DIY suspension on myself and been thinking about all the negative things that could come with it.
I don’t think that’s it would really be a good idea although it would really be something to me. The thing is that the word “suspension” is unheard of in my country - I live in Malta, an extremely small country - and there are no options as to where to get a suspension apart from doing it myself. The only help I would get was from a piercer I know (one of the few in this tiny country), that has hooked people for suspensions but never did one himself.
So, what should I do? Should I just wait for an endless time to maybe do a suspension later on in my life, or just try it out?
Thanks,
Isaac
Hey Isaac;
I certainly understand the impulse- sometimes we feel something so strongly it seems that we won’t be complete if we don’t go through the process. Five years ago I would have told you to go for it- it’s your body and obviously you have every right to do what you want when you want it.
Funny thing is- I grew up. I learned that I am NOT my body and that these rituals are important but not my whole being- so while the impulse is still there, the reality is that it should be a healthy, SAFE and introspective experience. That the preparation is as important as the ritual; and that good things truly do come to those who wait.
So if you’re asking for opinion… wait. Wait until you find someone who can facilitate the experience and make it a truly life altering event. You owe it to yourself.

Now… You could do it… when you did some “normal” suspensions before., when you are experienced. I DIY suspension is surely a great thing, a suspension alone for you (I ply a bit with the thought once in a time to use my piercings in the back in that way… but still not yet…). There are riscs. You need to be able to react in time, when you feel somethings going wrong, like loosing conciousness. Alone nobody lets you down, when you can’t do it yourself! It’s like in sports… You won’t surf a 70foot wave as first in ypur life, you wont ski-jump 200m as jump in your live, you won’t drive a 700hp racing car at full speed on a narrow track as first car-drive of your live, you won’t base jump a wingsuit as first jump at all. And exactly that extreme it is, what you want, experience rules….
