    Posted: October/02/2008 at 4:36am
Hey all,
I have recently been reading up on suspensions and have a quick question, if someone can provide an answer I would greatly appreciate it.
I was thinking of doing a 4 point suicide suspension first, but I have a fairly large tattoo on my right shoulder blade which would be, as far as I can tell, impossible to avoid. If the hooks went throught where the tattoo is placed would it damage it in anyway? When the holes in the skin heal / scab over is it possible to loose ink?
Cheers

(Im trying to get a picture of the tattoo in question uploaded but it doesn't seem to want to work. If i do get it up I will mention it here.)

Personally I wouldn't get a suspension hook through a tattoo. But I read member Bluestar say that she's got tonnes of holes through her back tattoo due to suspensions and you can barely notice them unless you look hard.

I guess it also depends on how much detail you have on your tattoo. Like if I had a big tribal piece I wouldn't mind a few dots in it.

I don't know for sure, but I'm fairly confident you WILL lose the ink wherever there's a hook.. personally though, my holes left about a 3 mm scar, so it's not a whole lot.

Ya, I've had many hooks of varying sizes (9ga, 8ga, 6ga) through my backpiece and you can hardly tell..
but it will leave a mark..
