My only complaint is that TrickyDick didn’t take more photos of this. The image of Thích Quảng Đức‘s self-immolation has been burned into the collective consciousness of the world since that fateful afternoon in 1963. Granted most people just recognize him as the burning monk on the Rage Against the Machine album, but his contribution to history will be remembered by Buddhists as long as they’re around.
Feel free to harass Rich to send in follow-up photos to the scarification galleries.
BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
Wow…just wow!
Whoa.
this is possibly the coolest scarification I’ve ever seen. When I saw the title of this post, I was expecting a tattoo of said monk, but this is 100 times more amazing
WOW! Love this, and it’s very unique.
Thanks everybody, Richard does amazing work!
Beautifully
this is amazing!
i reaaaaaaaally hope a healed picture of this is posted, and that i dont manage to miss it!
