Scar Wars 2007: John Joyce

Posted on September 11, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

Shawn Porter (scarwars.org) writes,

This weekend I was lucky enough to host piercer/Scarification artist John Joyce at my appointment only Xanadont Studios in always sunny Philadelphia. In between cuttings, I was able to spend some one on one time with him discussing the art, business and the state of the emerging Scarification Culture. John had a fascinating insight into the current school of cutters, and a few choice words of warning to the up and coming ranks inspired by some of the achievements of his generation. All in all, an amazing visit by a true professional. I highly recommend anyone interested in the ART and culture of Scarification to sit down with John and be prepared to listen, learn and laugh.

John Joyce will be cutting by appointment only at the SCARwars 2007 event in Philadelphia. Contact him for appointment availability and requirements.

A Lot of Corporate Logos

Capitalism is even starting to permeate the world of scarification, as this client of Rodri’s (Madrid, Spain) who’s already tattooed himself with lots of his favorite logos moves on to skin removal work! Click through for a close-up.

That is a single bar that goes from one side to the other, right? Hmm… On second thought, perhaps it’s a pair of dermal anchors. These were done by Pervert Bastard Scum (aka Greg Benuska) at Suburban 171 in Lockport, IL.

Winnipeg Urethral Reroute

Posted on September 11, 2007 by Shannon Larratt

There are a lot of reasons that people do urethral reroutes, but I think my favorite by far on a conceptual level is removing urination from the genitals — a friend of mine once explained, “it transforms the penis into an instrument exclusive to love”. Fyrezice (who has quite a few really great genital modifications) is wearing a titanium reroute ring in this picture — the ampallang bar keeps the loop from rotating.
