Flesh Pull

Flesh Pull involves hooking and pulling skin to create scar tissue, performed by experienced practitioners, with moderate risk and lengthy healing, rooted in some cultural and spiritual practices.

High Risk Modification

Flesh Pull carries significantly higher risks than standard tattooing or piercing. Complications can be permanent and in some cases life-altering. This procedure requires a practitioner with specific, verifiable training and experience. Research thoroughly and consult a medical professional before proceeding.

Performance & Ritual Context

Performance modifications like suspension are temporary and ritualistic in nature. They require rigorous sterile technique, proper hook placement knowledge, and experienced riggers. These experiences carry genuine risk and are not to be attempted without a trained team.

Aftercare

Clean hook sites with saline. Compress if needed. Rest. The sites may be tender and bruised for several days.

Risks & Complications

Skin tearing, infection, vasovagal response (fainting), psychological distress.

History & Culture

Flesh pulls emerged from suspension culture and the O-Kee-Pa ritual (a Mandan ceremony involving body suspension and pulls). In the modern body modification world they are practiced at events like Suspension.org gatherings and certain body modification conventions.
