2 weeks ago I promised that you’d be seeing some photos from The Piercing Urge in Melbourne, Australia. Well today you’ve already seen two by Frederick Bain, and now here’s something from the man himself, “Piercing” Pete Sheringham. I’m not sure how old the tattooed hand is, but it appears much older than the fresh scarification piece. Also note the ring finger has a band on it, possibly making the scar one inspired by love.
The hand prints are his wife’s and the ring is her wedding ring.
Wasn’t this scarification piece profiled on the documentary “Modified”?
Not Modify, it was on National Geographic’s Taboo series
this is so awesome :)
ahh.. indeed. cool idea.
