I was wondering for how many people the first contact they had with cutting and scarification was Slayer artwork (a la the oft-emulated cover of “Serenity in Murder” in 1995) — I’d wager that for more people than might admit it that Slayer was what “flipped the switch”. Anyway, not that it’s the first time I’ve posted a Slayer scar (remember “GOD HATES US ALL“?), but a couple from the last update got me thinking about it again.
This first one, a nape cutting, and his first time behind the blade, was gingerly cut by Jasn at Pacific Rootz in Maui, Hawaii.
On the other hand, Matias went I think a little more metal with his DIY slayer scar, choosing to cut it first with a scalpel as well, but, not satisfied with the level of damage, followed it up with a recut/burn with a red-hot knife.
BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what 
That second one…eek. Intense.
Now that you mention it…. maybe.
i have that carved into my back….. my friend did it for me, but we did more skin removal/burning
Do you want to die?
ouch, looks like it hurted…
thats band devotion i don’t know if i could ever have.
i mean slayer is cool and all but yeesh!
Ha, I’d never seen that album cover before. Meh whatevs. That second one is pretty insane :S
I have to admit, I like the way the 2nd one looks more.
ouch to number two
What number 6 said.
who wouldn’t want slayer carved into their flesh?! slayer or die!
This immediately made me think of the anime Slayers:

I know, I’m an anime nerd… well, I’m a nerd in general 😛
Lets hope his taste in music doesn’t change in the 50-60 odd years left of his life.
Almost as dumb as getting your partner’s name inked/cut/branded etc
the second one looks reeeeealllyyy painful…especially the ‘R’.
that second one looks really angry!
i once talked to someone who had a tattoo involving some john lennon song. she was like ‘yeah, i know i’ll always like him because he’s dead. he can’t put out any shitty music or do anything to make me hate him now.’
Zar–I love your friend….and John Lennon.
