I told you I had a scarification from Brenno to follow my earlier post. On top of being a great scarification artist, he’s also a kick ass host. If you’re into learning you should check out the APTPI conference in Milan, Italy. The next conference will be January 15-17th, 2010 and it is not to be missed!

I’m trying to go an entire day without posting some hot Brasilian babe but it’s hard. You’re going to have to deal with a nice rose scarification instead. Lewisdodd did this piece at Glorybound Tattoos in Exmouth, UK. I’ve got some scarification by Brenno to follow.

I’ll stop being gushy, I just can’t help it because they’re so darn cute and naked!
Botexty definitely has me stumped with their fatty/flattery tattoo by Heather Gee at The Illustrated Man in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Fatty and flattery. I just don’t get it. To each their own!

Don’t even post comments about how this isn’t hardcore or it’s boring because it’s “just an ear piercing” but Dustin Robbins from Iris Piercing in Salt Lake City, Utah really spices it up with some kick ass earrings. I love how the more people have stretched lobes, the cooler body jewelry evolves to bring us alternative jewelry to wear. She’s also got a little microdermal tucked above her clavicle.

Oh look! That modblog celebrity you love to hate, Mike Beer, is back at it again! Love him or hate him, you have to admit, this is a damn creative use of black light tattooing!
This tattoo was done by Buzz from Delaware.

Hello Modbloggers, Sean Philips here (IAM: LexTalonis). As one of the new guest contributors to Modblog, one thing I want to do is a regular “From The Vault” feature. Modblog has featured the latest and greatest in mods since it’s inception a few years ago, but there are tons of amazing, classic pictures just growing stagnant in the farthest back pages of BME that really show where we as a community came from, and in some cases, where we could still go.
For my first entry I want to go back to the early 21st century, a time when scarification as an art form was developing rapidly. On Modblog we feature AMAZING scarification pieces that rival tattoos for the amount of detail that they contain, but this super detailed scarification is a very recent addition to the body mod world.
In fact, it wasn’t that long ago that the concept of flesh removal to create an artistic scar wasn’t even common. This piece was my, and several other practitioner’s first exposure to flesh removal. The removal was done by Toro, one of the pioneers of flesh removal scarification. The branding was done by Blair, who is arguably the greatest strike brander in the world.
James Raimar got this huge and amazing piece while myself and others watched in awe over a live video feed. Myself and several others returned home and immediately started trying out this new technique ourselves and look where scarification has gone! The techniques have improved and the aftercare has VASTLY improved, but it is important to remember where our art came from and this piece was a big part of the modern history of scarification.
Want a few more pics and some full frontal male nudity?
Here it is one month after being done.
…and where there is nudity, Shawn Porter is sure to be near by!
Me neither.
But I thought this gorgeous blonde Swede would be a good addition to the mix as well. Here is IAM: Picklechip, want to see more pinup photos of her? Then check out her IAM page. If you are not an IAM member, pretty pin up pics of her should be more than enough reason to become one.
