Our meeting with the guys was due to a worldwide network Facebook. The first time we were in Cambodia, and the guys in Phuket. Next time, it was the opposite - we are travelers, not so easy to intercept each other in Asia.
Andy wanted to hang on hooks, I certainly did not mind, and this guys bought tickets and came to us to Phuket. We always welcome new friends, enjoyable and fun guys so host them at our home. Of course, after a night in the bus, we decided not make the procedure, and spent the first day of choosing nice location for suspension, meeting sunset at famous Promthep Cape and ate fruit salad))))
The first night we got acquainted, imbued with trust to each other, telling each other about traveling, sharing places and discovering, telling each other about life in Russia and Germany. At this moment for me was a very important point - when the sun had gone behind the horizon and the fruit salad was eaten, we sat on our cozy balcony and talked about life. For first we talked about guys in disadvantaged districts who do not like tattoos, especially the swastikas ( me and Andy have some) after conversation flowed into the mainstream "Swastika is not a Nazi sign" and then the guys , almost in unison, said: "Forgive us for Nazism! We are all messed up and we are sorry!" That's right, after 2 generations after the terrible war, Germans and Russian can sit on the Thai balcony and speaking such important, such a strong and sincere words .... My heart literally ached and tears almost flowed out of my eyes. Yes, our generation is not to blame for the mistakes of our ancestors, Nazism and Communism, and it is incredibly important that we can openly and honestly talk about it over the years.
Thanks guys, it was really cool)))
Early in the morning the next day we went to perform the ritual. Here are the traditional interview:
How long have you been thinking about suspension?
I thought about suspension a long long time.. maybe about 4 years ago for the first time because i saw some pictures of the procedure..after this i watched a suspension performance in berlin and from this moment i really wanted to do it ..
From my own I want to add that we made the rig especially for Andy and his suspension. I painted it in golden color and we used white rap cord. Thus was born the name of the rig and suspension - "Golden Angel".
What was your motivation?
My motivation was to see how i can elliminate my fears and the pain and how to control it and adapt the situation.. I wanted to feel my body in this new situation. A nother motivation was my curiosity of the process..
What about piercing procedure?
In general I have no fear of piercings and the procedure itself, but it was a completely new feeling with the hooks inside .. I felt a strong pressure, but Sasha did it very quickly and good, so i relaxed after a few minutes..
What feelings of ritual?
I enjoyed the suspension a lot.. at first when we start with the hanging it felt strange for me and my body needed a short time to adjust this new situation but it was so exciting for me.
After the first hanging, Andy felt not very good, it happens quite often because of extreme sensations in the body and, more importantly, in the mind. However, the second time the majority of customers cope with the task and begins to enjoy the process.
"....but after a few minutes I began to enjoy this incredible feeling in my body and the swinging and flying with a wonderful view. It was an amazing feeling."
Andy was not an easy guy)))) For the first suspension he set several goals: to hang on 2 hooks in the back, lift his girlfriend Jo and hang with only 1 hook. Pay special attention to that - all the goals were performed and documented !!!! ))))
How do you feel after? Did you get your expectations?
I felt happy and proud. It's difficult to describe this feeling but it was wonderful.. for me it was the perfect first suspension. the place. the feeling. the people around me. couldn't have been better.. at least I want to thank Sasha and Alex for this wonderful experience.. and the whole day..
I was very happy that day also. Thanks to a fun, friendly, open atmosphere during the ritual. I want to say: " Thank you, guys, for these few days - it was cool, bright, interesting!"
See you next time! :)
