This facial cutting was done by TJ at Senzalas in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

In this photo Evan is “fresh out of the into the cold painful air after five hours of agony” by Wes at Electric Chair in Riverside, CA.

“So I spent from one o’clock to six o’ clock getting cut. It was agony but well worth it. I did a lot better than I thought I would, but when it came time to clean me up that was a different story — green soap and a fresh cutting is worse than the cutting process itself. My whole body leaped from the table and I let out a horrendous cry of pain. Begging and pleading for it to stop hurting. This was the first time I cried over something physical in a while — not a tear during the cutting was shed (which surprised me), but after was different. It was a great experience for me. I had close friends all with me and felt very supported. Thanks for everything Mia, Christian, Dani, and most importantly Wes. You did an amazing job and this scar looks amazing.”
