I think the answer to the suspension question is people do it to show that they can.

I think that the suspension itself doesn't hurt because the weight is distributed evenly across a certain square inch area (PSI if you will) and not because of putting ones self in some sort of mental state.

I further this idea because I was talking with the guy (who is now my friend with the goth shop in the mall) getting the tattoo, stopped and wrapped the tattoo, got the hooks installed and was suspended, unhooked and started visiting with me again.

At no time was I under the impression that he was meditating or in any kind of trance and I know for a fact he was not under the influence of any drugs because I offered him Xanax during his tattoo session and he refused because he was getting the suspension done and wanted to have a clear mind.

He's just a normal person who wanted to try it, no stunts, no training or mental prep that I'm aware of.
