Not just scalpels: Scar Wars 2005 Suspension (Patreon)

Our goal with the Scar Wars events- three in total from 2005-2007- was to foster a noncompetitive space for scarification artists to get together, share tips and tricks, work together on collaborative projects, and connect them with clients from all over the world who were interested in aesthetic cutting & branding - but when you have three full days to fill, sometimes things go a little off track. 

At the inaugural SW event in Philadelphia, we noticed that there were amazing support beams in the rental space that was hosting us, so with so many suspension practitioners in attendance, it was only a matter of time before a few people found themselves going up.
