Car vs. Febian vs. Samppa

Samppa (voncyb.org) has of course done numerous amazing facial scarification projects, many of which have been featured here on ModBlog, but I especially enjoyed this one he just did on Febian (while guesting at Rings of Pleasure). Below it’s pictured both fresh and a week into the healing. The design isn’t purely chaotic — it’s done to mask or reclaim old scars from a car accident (which of course parallels the many scars we’ve seen that cover up old self-injury).

  25. @Nick – I assume they are busy and haven’t had time to write for ModBlog. We certainly are hoping to bring someone else on board and I would expect that Shannon will continue to post after the holidays are over.
