I’ve showed work by the brilliant scarification artist Dave Gillstrap here before, but he just got back from an art tour in Vancouver and I’d like to post this shot to show how he builds up a cutting.

I think there’s a lot to be said for subtlety in all art forms. Subtlety in permanent artworks is more important than in a transient piece.

if so perhaps someone could go around with an exacto knife carving up 8 yearolds with crude portraits of their fav seseme street charactors and be celebrated as a great and daring artist, i mean really why f*ck around, why not go for the real glory as an artist and do something extrodinarily “artistic”

Its funny cause all of you freaks think that you are non-conformists when in reality you are because you conform to be non-conform, so basically you are fooling yourselves. Why the fuck would you do that to your body when its already fine how it is? I wish I could be there later in life to see when you finally regret doing that to yourself.

You have to be fucking retarded to scar your body like that.

wow you actually cut yourself? How fuckin stupid are you? That is totally disgusting. You seriously need some help if you do that kind of shit. This is obviously a forum for freaks I just happened to see this from a link that was making fun of this forum and now i see why. Its funny cause all of you freaks think that you are non-conformists when in reality you are because you conform to be non-conform, so basically you are fooling yourselves. Why the fuck would you do that to your body when its already fine how it is? I wish I could be there later in life to see when you finally regret doing that to yourself. Justr like most people do when they get tatoos and shit. They regret doing later in life.

I don’t know why ignorant people are running around acting like this is the same as self mutilation. Tattoos fucking hurt too. Possibly a bit overstated, but it’s her body, and people need to get a fucking life and a fucking education and not judge things if they can’t see from someone else’s perspective. I also think it’s gorgeous.

You have to be fucking retarded to scar your body like that. I truly don’t know how fucked up in the head or how fucked up you may believe yourself to be, since most alternative lifestyle people are phonies trying to hog attention out of boredom, you mess your body like that. Nice going doing dumb ass, just wait till you’re 60 and all your shit is wrinkled.

Wow, look what happens when non-BME folks access BME… And people wonder why I use the term “plainskins”… I forget sometimes how hard this stuff is to understand for people of mundane existence, and how fearfully and angrily they respond to that which they do not understand.
Posted on 02-15-2006 09:22:20 by mike h
why are people so angry? stop acting so fucking righteous and open your mind a little, you dont have to like it but but it would be nice if your posts werent just swearword filled rants colored by your own insecurities

I am a ‘cleanskin’ (to use the expression used above), find the image a bit confronting, but I find the extreme reactions of anger and hatred hard to fathom. Images and discussion of cosmetic surgery do not receive such emotional and degrading feedback, even though that is just as much about altering one’s body. To my mind, cosmetic surgery is so much about conforming to sexist, narrow, oppressive body ideals that it is far more morally compromised than this kind of subversive and challenging body art. I find it repellent, but beautiful, scary, fascinating, all sorts of contradictory responses.

stumbled on this site via a link through boing boing
I have found myself having to click away quickly from some pages are they are far to “rude” for the like of me.
However, I found this very disturbing but then I thought about it. Far too much for me to stomach but I am trying to be open minded.
Don’t some maori and african tribes do something similar on thier faces? So are the people who do this kind of thing in the bush also “sick b******ds”?
The thing is, ouch ouch ouch. Does it hurt like hell and does it hurt worse than a tatoo?
Yours etc,
a very old conservative lady, feeling quite shocked, trying to be open minded, with teenage daughters now freaking out and swearing to send them to convent school . . . .

Hi again,
you see, I can’t get this out of my head.
There is this middle aged motherly part of me going, “O my poor dear . . why?” But I think that is because I am automatically equating it with self harm. I think this is why people come on here and freak out. Though the anger is a little hard to understand and is illogically unsympathetic if they truly believe the people to be suffering from mental ill health.
The other thing that has me a bit surprised is the harping on about how rubbish various bits of body art will look when the person is 60 or so. Thing is, your body looks “rubbish” when you are 60 or so anyway – believe me 🙂 – and so if you are shy about that sort of thing you are going to cover up anyway. So, in what way is ageing an issue?
Anway, I am rambling. I will go and do some nice crochet and make some jam or something . . .

ha. people are so silly. it hurt yes. why did i do it? i’ve been a cutter all my life. i’ve cut myself to bleed, i’ve cut myself to feel human.. and i was so ashamed of it. it’s been years since i stopped and as a testament to that achievement.. these are my beautiful scars, they hide the ugly ones that lie underneath on my thighs where i used to cut myself. i will never cut myself again.
they’re part of the story of who i am, they’re part of the woman i’m growing up to become. some people call it mutilation.. and you know, that really is a matter of opinion. when i got these scars i was sober, i was in a clear state of mind and it was a consensual act. i am prepared to live with these for the rest of my days as a reminder of how far i’ve come from that little girl who used to hate herself.
i find it funny that the morons who post in response to these pictures in a negative way can barely spell the simple words they’re trying to slam “sick people like me” with. get yourself an education and exercise the other half of your brain before you dare to judge anyone else.

Errrmmm…..a lot of hating going on but really this picture is very striking, I really like how you can see many elements of the process around the newly finished end piece. Which is technically very accomplished, compared to some of the really shitty scars i’ve seen around. I also think that this is one of the best mods I have seen ever as some others are actually rank, like for example anything to do with the anus and doing stuff to it which IS horrible and probably a psychological problem! What I’m trying to say is please can we see how it ended up? I can’t find it anywhere! PLEASE!
