Sorry brother, Id totally missed this. He's looking cool eh? Good pose and nice looking stone!! Id be going straight through with your suspension hole; just the area you have to work with looks like it would suit it and is just my personal preference. I generally slope them backwards a little to encompass more stone/strength; not quite 45degrees but just so that it pops out lower on the back of the head. My vote is for inlays too! Sloped/round; either way.. He's going to be a character for sure! Tama :)
