The Friday Follow-up

Posted on December 17, 2010 by Rob

We’re going to kick off Friday with a big black arm. While I was digging through the archives to find a great pair of before and after shots I realized it had been a while since we’ve seen scarification over top of blackwork in a while. Thankfully the_absolute sent in this pair of pictures of a scar he did earlier in the year.

Fresh

Keep on reading to see how the scar turned out.

Healed

I love how well this turned out. At first glance you wouldn’t even know it was a scar. You can check out more of Iestyn’s work in his scarification portfolio gallery.

The single most asked question when it comes to scarification and branding photos is “what will it look like healed”. So we’re always on the look out for fresh/healed scar photos, so if you’re an artist who would like to be featured in the follow-up, or you’re someone who has scar work done, please send in your photos.

Facial Evolution

This facial flesh removal done By Lestyn at Divine Canvas in London, looks bold and striking when fresh and quite subtle when healed. I really dig the healed look on the right side personally.

To see both sides in their freshly cut glory, keep on keeping on.

The Actors of the Past

Posted on June 15, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

Good day, folks! We should have an exciting announcement (that some of you may already be aware of) a bit later on, but let’s kick things off this week with this cutting work by the one, the only, The Absolute (more from Iestyn). What you see cut into Alice‘s arm up there is a Vajra, which, as the infallible Wikipedia explains, is a weapon “that has the symbolic nature of a diamond (it can cut any substance but not be cut itself) and that of the thunderbolt (irresistible force).” Indiana Jones will be by to battle you shortly, Alice.

Older and Better

Greetings, ModBloggers! Let’s begin our Wednesday smorgasbord with this shot of “Mr. Lees Boat,” if that is his real name, featuring some brand new circular facial scarification work by the great Iestyn (lots more). As always, we’ll be very curious to see how these suckers heal, but between his jewelry and new scars, ’tis a fine theme emerging.

Face Peel Update: The Revengening

Posted on May 12, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

As part of our continuing mission to bring you the best in healed and healing scarification pieces, here’s a fancy update to this facial flesh-removal on Reece by Iestyn a little while back. It’s no big surprise coming from Iestyn, but the healing seems to be coming along quite nicely. We’re not sure what else Reece has planned (tattooing over the scars a la Lucky Diamond Rich, for example), but we’re definitely curious to see how his appearance progresses from here on out.

And, of course, after the jump…lion-face.

Moments of Comfort

Posted on April 13, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

What is the measure of a man? Is it the fine luxury automobile he drives? Perhaps the house he owns? Or maybe the children who carry on his legacy? Well…considering I don’t have a car, a house or kids, I’m gonna say it’s the heartiness of your beard. And by that logic, Alice is the goddamn manliest man I’ve ever seen. Another shot of her imperial bristles, after the jump.

Reece Gets His Face Peeled

Posted on March 13, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

I have to admit, for a split second when I saw these shots of Reece’s facial cuttings by Iestyn, my thought was, “When did Lucky Diamond Rich stretch his nostrils?!” The full-facial black tattoo is pretty high on the list of radical transformations a person can undergo, but when it’s well executed (as it certainly is in this case), the result is really wonderful, I think, and I’m very curious to see how these healed scars add to Reece’s appearance! Some procedural shots after the jump.

Unsoiled by the World

Posted on February 26, 2009 by Jordan Ginsberg

It’s been a little while since we’ve featured Iestyn (more) on here, but this cutting is too good to pass over. Welcome back to ModBlog, old friend.

Holy Holy Holy

Posted on December 18, 2008 by Jordan Ginsberg

Fellas, I don’t know about you, but just looking at these photos of Sean’s swollen member four days after receiving some genital beads really “makes my penis hurt,” if you know what I mean.

Sean, of course, is no stranger to extreme bruising. Says the man himself of his genital beading: “It looks like it has been shut in a car door.” That’s about right. The shot above is four days after the initial procedure; for the grislier two-day-post-implant shot, take a peek past the jump. If you dare.

Need a pick-me-up after that? I hear T-shirts are good for what ails ya.

We Respond Before We Know How to Speak the Language

Posted on November 13, 2008 by Jordan Ginsberg

I admit it, alright? If I go more than a few days without posting a gorgeous cutting by Iestyn of Diamond Jacks Tattoo and Piercing in London (MORE), I can’t sleep. I get the cold sweats. It’s a bad scene. So believe me when I say, this is as much for me as it is for you.

And with that, we bid another day adieu. Sleep well, ModBlog.
